The Speaker represents the Commons and its Members.

New Government policies are meant to be announced first to the Commons and the Speaker was having a dig at the Government's tendency to disregard that when briefing the media first.

isn't it funny how both of hoyle's predecessors are listed in the OP as undesirable?

it is almost as if ANY speaker that actually attempts to do their job will rub the tories up the wrong way

perhaps the conservatives should pay more attention to obeying the ministerial code and the rules of our parliament

[ToraToraTora]

The job of the speaker is not to spout stupid comments at the PM. Hoyle is mostly doing his job but what he did today deviated from that. Gorbals mick was better than Bercow who was bent as a butchers hook. Gorbals would have been ok if he'd not encouraged and supported the expenses fraud.

At least Boris turned up at PMQs and gave Tora a bit of self pleasure.
Sunak is scarred and hides and knows he can’t save the next election on his personality - because he hasn’t got one.

foo dang dong! me auld foo foo

even if he puts it in English, it still makes no sense.

Old Hoyly was carping at Rishi's absence

well it is PMQs and not AOHQs ( any old hacks questions)

Bit schoolmasterish, but what the hell the MPs behave like children a lot of the time

foo dat TTT!

He's a bit more than the ref. He's responsible for enforcing discipline in the house in the same way that whips are responsible for enforcing it within the parties. This would presumably include attendance of the main main players.

we used to be content to let them get on with it
in a bubble ( bubbly they were)

now we pick at this and that. Latest on Boris and the phones, an undersecretary has the pass-pin, stored in case these important people forgot it.

Big thing about private phones. Police routinely now have to hand in their mobiles in an internal inquiry
