"However there is nothing to suggest he will stand up this afternoon and say he is resigning....The Liberal Democrats are playing a stupid House of Commons game. If they force him out, Labour will vote for another Labour Speaker. They have been warned.", said a 'friend'!? of Speaker Martin.
Another Labour Speaker? We see. Speaker Boothroyd was elected as a Labour representative to the House of Commons as Member of Parliament for West Bromwich, but on being honoured with the ancient office of Speaker earned the heartfelt and unstinting praise of all parties in the House. She stood for us all, whatever our political allegiance, in the scrutiny of the exercise of power. No 'Labour Speaker' she. Speaker Martin is condemned in all his stupidity and disloyalty to office from the mouths of his 'friends'. No wonder Roman Catholics still have such a bad time of it in England, even after centuries have passed. Speaker Martin is not a true representative of parliamentary freedom and assertion of the people's wielding of power. Some of us are not snivelling anti-Parliamentarians, Roman interlopers, Labour satraps. We have been misrepresented doubly by this man.
We will stand shoulder to shoulder with English freedoms, and not least because you lot have easily the best hymns.

So this stupid posturing is to try and con the LDs into hoping that Vince will be the next speaker?
I suppose the LDs do have "form" on being utterly naive and stupid. But then so does the electorate.
