Zing!
From Twitter - Hannah White:
Today over 60 current and former @HouseofCommons staff and others have written to @thetimes inviting all candidates for Speaker to commit to implementing an independent process for determining allegations of bullying and harassment by MPs within 6 months of taking office

He has managed to challenge the Speaker's role; his lack of impartiality [particularly recently] has shown that he he needs to go quickly before he destroys the basis of the role and it's usefulness in the HoC
Personally I think he should step down and allow his deputy to fill his place.Seems Harman’s local party don’t want her to stand for Speaker.
They had a vote to consider urging her not to, but needed a recount:
“The vote urging Ms Harman to reconsider her candidacy was initially tied at 21 to 21 but a recount saw the motion passed by 26 to 22.”
Clearly not many mathematicians in the group....

I'm inclined to agree. I think he has overstepped the mark in the role of speaker by some miles.ELUSIVEJIM said:
That would mean he'd be available to take over as PM.....
k all on their notice period. At least he’s still grafting! ELUSIVEJIM said:
I think he is great if only for the amusement he gives me here seeing some get so vexed.The next few weeks is going to be a fun ride.
Pity there is a clash with the Rugby though. Not really a match is it.
Now if only they could match England with Brexiteers, Boris, Govey, JRM, et al.

I didn't realize the speaker's powers went as far as negotiating with foreign powers on our behalf. Let's hope they don't.REALIST123 said:
