Quote of the Day
Mr Winnick, who clashed with the Speaker in the Commons last week, said: "There is great public anger outside which undoubtedly has harmed the reputation of this House. We all bear responsibility, I take my share of responsibility like every other Honourable Member.
"But can I put this to you, and I’m not associated with the motion, Sir, would you bear in mind that it would be very useful to the reputation of this House - and I say this with reluctance, but I say it all the same – if you gave some indication of your own intention to retire. Your early retirement, Sir, would help the reputation of the House."
That's very polite and diplomatic...
WTF?
How can Speaker Martin just ignore what's going on? How is it that he and the clerks of the court don't know what the procedures are? I'm gobsmacked! I don't understand the whole "pomp, ceremony and rules" of the house but this can't be right.
