I meant to write a post this morning extolling the virtues of Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP who is to be the next Speaker of the House. Alas, due to my old age forgetfulness combined with ancient idleness, I failed to do it - mea culpa! Even so, my influence moves by mysterious means through the ether and tonight I am delighted to see that he has been appointed. I liked his style when he was Deputy Speaker under that malignant monkey, Bercow. He will stand no nonsense but he will not preen and prance like his predecessor. Arguably, this was the best decision taken by the House in years!
And thank the Lord that creepy, Chris Bryant MP, who once photographed himself posing in his underpants for a 'gay' magazine, failed to get the job. Even so, he still managed to raise 213 votes which indicates the average intelligence, not to say, the peculiar 'taste' of many of our often less than 'Honourable Members'!
So it was 'don't let the door knob hit you where the Good Lord split you' on your way out?
