Quote of the Day

John Bercow said…

“I cannot think of a single year in the recent history of Parliament when more damage has been done to it than this year, with the possible exception of when Nazi bombs fell on the chamber in 1941… We have to make it crystal clear that we will dynamite the past arrangements, practices and, crucially, cultures that allowed the expenses disaster to take place and will do so with as much vigour as Guy Fawkes intended to apply here in 1605.”

    At least Bercow makes an effort to nudge Hash Gordon into actually behaving like a PM at PMQs (agreed an impossible task).
