Murky links with Keith Vaz (Jim the washing machine man!) over donations.

Also Ministers will now get free vote on any bid to remove him

[Khandro]

He sounds like marked man. If I remember correctly, wasn't he voted in to that position by Labour in order to annoy the Tories?
He really is an odious little creep.

[Jackdaw33]

Correct on both counts, Khandro.

[ichkeria]

If the idea was to annoy a few Tories it certainly worked!
In fact, the Tories could have nominated a different candidate for speaker : it was their 'turn' anyway. But hell hath no fury etc ...

[Jackdaw33]

They DID nominate someone else, Douglas Hogg, a former Deputy Speaker.

[grumpy01]

Yes the sooner he goes the better.We need parliament to be getting on with its business not having a debate about the speaker's impariality or his association with various people with associations to Keith Vaz.

[grumpy01]

Sorry that's not a new word just a typo.Impartiality.

[gulliver1]

Yes he is a horrible little man with a very big mouth.
Khandro,09 05 [ so what] the tories voted in the present leader of the labour
party , just to annoy Labour, its called dirty politics.

[Khandro]

gulliver; //the tories voted in the present leader of the labour
party , just to annoy Labour//

How did that work?

[gulliver1]

Simple , members of the tory party joined the labour party for £3,
know as the £3 vote.

[Khandro]

So that's how Corbyn got in; it was all done by the Tories, well I never!

[jno]

ask TTT how he contributed to Corbyn's election.

[gulliver1]

Well kd he would not have been voted leader any other way?.
JNO thought TTT was a member of the SGP?.

[anneasquith]

It appears its best to be an appeaser, than voice an opinion.

[-Talbot-]

Do you actually believe that is how Corbyn got to be Labour leader, gulliblver?

[gulliver1]

yes Tal bollo

[-Talbot-]

Then you are dafter than I thought.

[Khandro]

Gulliver; Some stats; http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyn-won-a-landslide-with-full-labour-party-members-not-just-3-supporters-10498221.html

[gulliver1]

talbol none so daft as them that don't know it

[-Talbot-]

Clearly

[Gromit]

it is about time a Labour candidate was installed as speaker, as they are much better at it than the Tories.
Betty Boothroyd was supreme, and George Thomas a close second. Bercow, and before him Bernard Weatherall are just third rate in comparison.

I'm sure if Dennis Sinner put his name forward against Bercow, he would easily win.
