We have 2 classes of MPs in another sense too: those who do the job day in, day out – and those who only turn up when they want to speak

The back bencher Gordon Brown has spoken. The time limit goes on. This is how it works. #thevow

Gordon Brown speaking for 16mins on Scots Devolution debate – despite there being a 6 min limit. One rule for the few another for the many!

Gordon Brown speaking in chamber. Screen says he started at 14.32 and it is now 14.47 Screen also says 6min limit on backbench speech???

Sir George Young very witty at Gordon's expense- not all MPs are equal, "some allowed to speak for more than 6 minutes, some are not".

In the Scottish devolution debate. Two tier MPs? Gordon Brown has unlimited speaking time, other backbenchers limited to 6 minutes.

Two classes of MPs. Those who barely come to Parliament yet get unlimited speaking time. G. Brown. Other class of MP: everyone else.

Another stunning Gordon success.
