His statement was jeered!! That alone should be enough to make him resign. It's extraordinary. Jacqui Jackboot was conspicuous by her silence

The BBC are loving it, the news this morning categorically stating how she doesnt have confidence in him and then rolling the footage of her interview.

Outgoing Prime Ministers, Speakers and Lord Chancellors are paid an annuity equal to half their salary — currently between £64,000 and £94,000 — regardless of how long they have served. The money, which comes directly from the public purse, is justified on the ground that it helps to “protect the dignity of the ‘Three Great Offices of State’  and that is on top of his pension as an MP to which he will also be entitled for life.

And if they didn't do that when they were in office?

Just a thought but do you have to be an MP to be the speaker of the house? If not them I may consider sending my CV in. It may take them a while to get used to a slightly different style though:

"Would the right honorable gentleman stop talking bollocks and sit down"

would become a well used phrase.

To he honest cabinet, ministerial and jobs like the speaker of the house should not be given to MP's anyway because it detracts from the role they were elected for which is to represent the interests of their constituents.
