<div>With the fishing war between the UK and France not necessarily over but at least at a ceasefire, today's Shots focuses on the Commons. Conservative MP Owen Paterson was found to have committed an 'egregious' breach of lobbying rules, but some in his party, including Jacob Rees-Mogg, have raised concerns about the investigation. </div> <div><br> </div> <div>On the podcast, Isabel Hardman says:<em> 'I think a lot of MPs on both sides of this, regardless of their views of Owen Paterson's activities, allegedly on behalf of these companies, feel very uncomfortable about the whole thing.'</em> </div> <div><br> </div> <div>Also, Rob Roberts, who was suspended for repeated and unwanted sexual advances against a member of staff, is back in the Commons. But how is his return being taken by the Tory MPs he still shares the benches with?</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Katy Balls is joined by James Forsyth and Isabel Hardman to discuss. <br> <br> Subscribe to The Spectator today and get a £20 Amazon gift voucher:<br> <a href="http://www.spectator.co.uk/voucher">www.spectator.co.uk/voucher</a> <br> <br> And stay on top of all the day's news with our Evening Blend Newsletter:<br> <a href="http://www.spectator.co.uk/blend">www.spectator.co.uk/blend</a> </div>
