A subtle demolition of Bercow by Greg Hands:
“Mr Speaker, we all need to keep our election pledges, and that, Mr Speaker, applies whether we made those pledges one year ago or nine years ago.”
He lied…

‘Don’t tell me what the procedures are’ – The House of Commons was in chaos after SNP MPs left in protest at Speaker John Bercow kicking @IanBlackfordMP out #PMQs https://t.co/Y0VorfFfmt pic.twitter.com/eQqwP7aZ1f
— Sky News (@SkyNews) June 13, 2018
The SNP’s Westminster leader Ian Blackford deliberately gets himself suspended from the Commons with a naff stunt at PMQs. The rest of the Nats then walked out in protest as Bercow floundered and completely lost control. Oh well. Bye!

Corbyn’s best #PMQs in months, May’s worst. His questions were precision targeted, and he followed them up. Her answers were vague, and she sounded rattled. https://t.co/x2yNQ8uReO

A farcical outing from Theresa May at PMQs, who refused to answer any of Corbyn’s questions on when the Brexit white paper is coming or how the government’s customs policy is coming along. This is getting ridiculous. It is nearly two years since the referendum. If she can’t make any decisions…

Rowan Atkinson tells The Times
“All jokes about religion cause offence, so it’s pointless apologising for them. You should really only apologise for a bad joke. On that basis, no apology is required.”
