  1. Welcome to my world Mr Flynn. I have no confidence in any of you, regardless of which political party you’re from.

  2. and rightly so, how anyone can have confidence in him is beyond me, and Starmer needs to be answering a few questions too.

  3. I’ve never been a fan. But dragging the bodies of murdered MPs into the chamber to hide behind and wail “I made a mistake but I was thinking of your security” can fuck all the way off.

    Awful. Prick.

  4. Was actually thinking of voting Labour to get rid of Tories at GE but as Starmer is so weak, well it’s ABC as usual!

  5. How did we go from the unflappable John Bercow to this guy

  6. Hoyle has been a huge pushover during his entire spell as Speaker. The cherry on the top is being bullied by Keir fucking Starmer of all people.

    Genuinely thought he was going to start crying last night.

  7. I’ve not been following any of this.

    Could someone kindly give me a ELI5 synopsis please?

  8. *Just to put this bollocks to bed*

    Yesterday Hoyle said this:

    This is Hoyle after he had just met Starmer.

    He threatens to throw a heckling MP out without being able to cast a vote.

    And he gives his reason for allowing Labour’s amendment:- ‘archaic and out of date rules’.

    [No mention of ‘safety of MPs’ at all.](https://twitter.com/BeckettUnite/status/1760654624497807403?t=eV7xQRx6ek8eSM5doQL2Nw&s=19)

    *And yet today its all dead MPs make me sad so I had to save Labour from any embarrassment*

    Pish. Despicable, rotten, gutter cunt pish.

  9. I’m not an SNP supporter – won’t be voting for independence. Flynn is absolutely right.

    Whether you are the Greens, Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru etc etc allowing the Speaker to get away with this will have knock on effects you can’t necessarily see right now, but they will come.

  10. Whilst I agree that the speaker is in the wrong here, let’s not forget that the leader of the opposition effectively blackmailed him.

  11. This is such contrived drama over nothing. There are real life problems across the UK that MPs should be working long into the night to fix, instead of having bizarre rows over a meaningless motion put forward about Gaza. An opposition party in the UK parliament supports a unilateral Israeli ceasefire but has absolutely no ability to effect that whatsoever. Okay.
