Before we close the Politics Live Page for the night, here's a quick look back at what has been happening today:

MPs gathered in the Commons for the first time since the election and unanimously re-elected John Bercow as the Speaker of the House. 

David Cameron used his first major speech since the election to renew his pledge to create a seven-day-a-week NHS.

Candidates for the Labour party leadership continue to gather support and one of them, Yvette Cooper , is saying the party had been seen as "anti-growth".

The Greens joined forces with UKIP to call for changes to the electoral system.

More from Newsnight's reflections on Radical Conservatism. David Skelton, director of the Renewal group, says the party needs to build on its election win to gain support in areas where it's seen as "counter-cultural" to vote Tory. 

He says he'd like to see the party work with "northern coalfields" and reboot its "moral mission" to help people who "have been on low pay for five years".

Columnist Tim Montgomerie said the Conservative manifesto for the general election had been the "most Conservative for a generation". He added that although some on the right of the party did not consider David Cameron to be a "true Conservative", voters were very comfortable with him.

Newsnight

Newsnight on BBC Two has been considering why the Conservatives won the election and what they will do now. Steve Hilton, David Cameron's former right-hand man who left Downing Street in 2012, said the Conservatives delivered what they promised in government and produced a "far better" manifesto than in 2010, describing their plans on the NHS, childcare and tax as "modern, progressive and practical". Former Times columnist Tim Montgomerie says anyone expecting real radicalism under a Conservative majority government could be disappointed, arguing that Mr Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne are by instinct "cautious" politicians and their victory owed more to their opponents' weakness and an improving economy than any appetite for far-reaching change. 

Guardian columnist Owen Jones is not impressed with the Labour contest so far, telling the BBC News Channel's newspaper review that it has been a "drab affair". What we have seen to date, he says, is a series of "fairly vacuous platitudes", with little to differentiate the candidates when it comes to policies. But The Sun's Kate McCann says there is a long way to go and it is important that the public get a sense of the personalities of those involved. Both agree that Dan Jarvis' endorsement is good news for Andy Burnham though and that he is assembling a "strong" list of backers. 

Dan Jarvis has been explaining to the BBC's World Tonight why he is supporting Andy Burnham. He says he has seen the shadow health secretary "close-up" in his constituency and in Parliament and believes he has a "broad appeal" and the "basic authenticity" needed to re-connect with voters who deserted the party. He says he agrees with some of Yvette Cooper's criticism of Labour's failure to reach out to business. But he also defends Labour's links with the trade unions, saying it is important for working men and women to be able to contribute to the party. 

A reminder from earlier that UKIP has joined forces with the Greens and other parties to petition the government to change the voting system.

Labour's leader in the House of Lords, Baroness Jan Royall, says the winner of the party's leadership contest should be "reaffirmed" after three years, reports Allegra Stratton , Newsnight's political editor. 

Prince Charles is expected to meet Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams at the start of a royal visit to Ireland on Tuesday.

It is understood that Mr Adams will be among a number of politicians to greet the prince as he begins his four-day visit with the Duchess of Cornwall.

The meeting in Galway would be the first in the Republic of Ireland between the Sinn Féin leadership and a member of the British Royal Family.

BBC political correspondent Eleanor Garnier says some people will be surprised by Yvette Cooper's comments on Labour's business record and her apparent intention to "distance" herself from Ed Miliband. 

Conservative MP Sarah Wollaston, chair of the Commons health committee, says she supports the prime minister's vision of a truly seven-day a week NHS but it won't "happen overnight". She says more needs to be done to get doctors working abroad to return to the UK and to enable those who have taken time out to raise a family to get back into work. Pressure needs to be taken off GPs, she adds, by expanding the role of consultant pharmacists and other professionals. But ultimately, she tells the BBC News Channel, the UK needs to train more GPs if it is to meet the demands on the NHS of a growing and ageing population.

It's quite hard to walk 10 feet in Portcullis House, the big new-ish office building that has become the centre of much parliamentary life, without running into an MP running for some office or other, writes BBC Parliamentary Correspondent Mark D'Arcy.  

He says the winners of the races to lead the various committees in the Commons will be those who are "most successful in attracting votes across the political divide".
