Speaker slides on a greasy pole, parliament slides on an embarrassment of hyperbole and nonsense such that the average voter has no clue (or inclination and will pick up the Daily Mail et al, TV) to understand. This is the stuf of soap operas and yet you merely stick it out there as if it's the norm whilst our nation continues to be shafted by policitians from both sides of the house.

Professor emeritus Robert Paxton said :- "A form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion." That might look like a description of the Johnson government and brexit but it is Paxton's textbook political science definition of Fascism.

@@martinwyke Irony is, I left out fascism this time for want someone with a better analogy step up.

It wasn't the first time Boris was hammered in public.

Where did he break the law? He wasn't at the alleged party. I realise facts are irrelevant to you but the Police tend to rely on them.

@@1chish there's reason to suspect he's guilty of aiding a crime (a party) by offering his residence (his flat). Police are allowed to take suspects into custody without proof as long as they're released or punished accordingly once substantial information has been gathered. you're right the police do rely on facts, if you'd done the same, you wouldn't have made the mistake of implying that police need to find someone guilty before they can arrest someone

@@1chish 😄🤣🙄. Wow

@@neilg6675 Wow? It was just a statement of fact.

What did Starmer say about people who are currently being prosecuted at Westminster magistrates for hosting parties last Christmas. The Police obviously responded to reports of these parties, investigated and brought appropriate charges. Why isnt this happening in this case?

the defamation of Corbyn should not be forgotten after this disaster of a government

he is as biased speaker as I’ve ever seen

@@crispyduck1706 Absolutely, performative ourtrage, and he continues to do precisely nothing!

This looks like a charade if I have ever seen one. Everything said is vague enough to not offend ANYONE but still keeps the idea going that they are "working". He said it himself, he doesn't have the answers but their is someone who makes them for him while laughing. This is a good show all the way up until the last 30 seconds where it sinks in for anyone with eye to see and ear to hear. The camera has to cut away so you don't get the idea that everything being said is one big joke. Where is the consent of the governed?

Only decent one in the lot of them

Word.

Bercow was better!!! Orderrrrrr

He is the worst speaker we have had in decades. Johnson has been lying to the HoC for years and the speaker calling him up on it is as rare as rocking horse poop.

I’m not saying the current speaker is the best although I think he is very good. When first elected, some thought he’d be a pushover, being a loyal conservative, but the role is one where people grow and he, like Bercow, although less aggressively, is determined to run parliament for all parliamentarians and if not a puppet of this dreadful government. And that’s not easy with ministers consistently first announcing plans to the media.

because Ian Blackford started speaking

@@illuuusion Started spitting facts they couldn't swallow.

@@stephenfowlie742 no no, its the classic rightoid strategy. Its facts they dont want to know

@Where's Walshy Mga bwisit hanggang dyan lang ba kayo? Magrally ng rally bakit hindi kayo magbanat ng buto, nakakahiya kayo

The French came up with a great method of action a couple centuries ago...

There are many laws to act on it's just that we have a little Dick that doesn't enforce them.

It has a method, but it's not effective. Being "polite" isn't working tho and just delays and puts obstructions in place. Reminds me of the Catholic church covering for pedophile priests.

🌠⚔️

@HT 7 What exactly do you suggest?

I agree - Hoyle is also not narcisstic like Bercow was

@Where's Walshy Totally agree. Career politicians are the problem. Gone are the days of people actually caring about their ideals. Now they grow up thinking "I can make a mint just by smiling and talking .... badly". We need "proper" politicians back - people who actually care. I did care for Scracrgill -just for standing his ground. definitely had no time for Mrs T - BUT - both kicked arse and got stuff done. THAT I have respect for. This current crop of drop-heads? Nothing, on either side. We need strong leadership against both Russia and America - and given our absolutely stupid departure from the EU, we also need leadership there too. China and India are climbing into the boat.... We need leaders to ACT. I know its late but... I think TM may be the right person. She was given a raw deal over Brexit. And I'm Labour. But I think TM may have the experience to pull us through.

Aye he does - best thing that's happened to the house for years

@@dabenjyboy Bercow was a bully, this man is Gold.

Becrow was a decent speaker of the house. This speaker i have question why is he even there, he might as well be absent and would have on impact to proceedings.

He is a hypocrite he is from the Labour Party so is a bias and remember, Labour are undemocratic unelectable hypocrites who tried to thwart brexit and go against our country's democracy, Boris stands in the house of commons among remainers for our country's democracy we should all be behind him if we believe in democracy, sod the undemocratic unelectable Labour London party,

A written constitution is the answer, along with a root and branch alteration to our electoral system.

Agreed

Said this from the beginning. Why arnt those whome attended in trouble! A kid got a 10k fine .. where are downing streets fines? 2ho the fack are they? Why arnt they being talked about!

@@royfearn4345 thanks but I’ve seen what a written constitution has done to our friends across the pond and I think I’ll pass. We already have laws, if we want a new one we should write it down and vote on it. No need to list an arbitrary group of them and say these ones can never change.

That is a fact. That being a fact, is a problem. What if he's shameless enough to just stay? There's no accountability, there needs to be a way to not rely on the character of faulting PMs.

And what after or Who

@@benhood3295 I don't know enough about British law as to make an educated suggestion. I wish I did.

He could simply be summoned to the castle and dismissed.

FIRING the buggers with immediate loss of ALL pensions & privileges !

Surely nobody could sink that low!

And rightly so. John Bercow was a Conservative before he had to contend with Bozo the Clown. This government is acting as if they were in a dictatorship, humiliating the House on many occasions. However, it is the House that is Sovereign, and government its servant. If only this batch of Conservative seals would rise to the occasion....

there were plenty 'points of fingers' as well!

@@colinwishbone4437 Sink that low? Bercow was the one focused on ensuring that the commons was treated with respect. How is that low?

Hoyle has been a terrible speaker.

Point of order, PMQ's had finished hence why no one is asking any more questions just raising further points in the debate. Generally after PMQs, the sitting PM and his senior ministers will leave. If you watch the video further you will see a lot more MPs will leave as proceedings continue

Well, we see when the going gets tough, the PM gets going, gone! The rules made are for us, the public not for government officials an the PM. Why the hell should we believe anything they tell us?

@Nikesh Dayalji Give him a break?? He deserves no quarter. Don't be so naive.

For almost two years the government rule by decree, with a parliamentary rubber stamp to approve their edict after the fact. Why would the PM feel they need to stay and listen to PMQs? They have moved beyond such democratic rituals. 🙃

@Nikesh Dayalji give him a break? Ffs he doesn’t deserve a break following what he’s done. He deserves to resign

And they all seem to spring from the same arrogant class and the stupid sycophants who are willing to act as fall guys whilst weeping crocodile tears

Yet this attitude they have is openly on display and people still vote for these crooks. It boggles the mind.

Blackford travelled to the Sottish isle's during Travel restriction, a Labour MP travelled to Westminster with Covid then travelled back up north on public transport Knowing she had tested positive for Covid, Then their is talk of Labour parties also how many more broke the rules and kept their jobs perhaps the entire lot should be scrutinised seems strange this has taken 12months to be aired!!!!

I would say ALL

Unfortunately, this applies to labour,liberal, snp etc.

That's no way to talk about Carrie.

@Where's Walshy They don't even stand here in N, Ireland. But then would you want the DUP running everything? The regular people all across the UK will being dealing with the fallout from this Tory government for a long time.

Its okay, you should feel no confusion about not supporting PM Carrie because she most assuredly is NOT a conservative. Just another middle class green liberal.

Why on earth would you be a conservative?

@@markthompson2106 - because being Labour, Marxist, Green or Lib Dem is even worse.

@@ChicagoDB can you come up with an original thought, rather than saying things like "you think this is shit? Imagine if it was labour?!". Get a grip of reality, will you?

@@markthompson2106 - you are quoting something I didn't say or write? Good work lol I certainly don't need to "imagine" if it would be worse under the others parties...that is a certainty...and I didn't even add the insane SNP. 😆

@@grahamariss2111 Curses! I hadn't twigged that - but even an unofficial petition would embarrass the party even if it didn't penetrate his thick skin...

Johnson has nothing but contempt for anyone who isn't in his immediate circle because as his old headmaster said of him, "He seems to think rules don't apply to him."

Exactly what I thought.

@Anzioo24 You are witnessing - and paying for - a political party dismantling the rule of Justice, defanging the sovereign Parliament, looting the public coffers to enrich their mates, friends, families and themselves, dismantling all the public infrastructure they can and selling the bits to foreign interests.

The only people who are dictating are the undemocratic remainer Labour Party who tried to thwart brexit and go against our country's democracy with out democracy you get a dictatorship, Boris delivered on our country's democracy,

He was breaking laws or at the very least treading along the line before he even became PM. It was all well publicised as well but he had his Brexit shield up until recently.

He had covid? Don’t make me laugh! And any jab he’s “supposed “ to have had will be saline!!!!!!!! Why have a jab when MP’s are exempt? If jabs were effective they would all have grabbed them before any member of the public!! All absolute BS

Remember, they installed this guy because they thought he was a push over. Look how disgusted he is at their behaviour.

Now imagine how John Bercow would have reacted :).

because he is the one who decides who is reprimanded for breaking ministerial code

He's the boss of the people that would bring that accusation against him. You may notice he's been investigated and found not to be doing anything wrong quite a few times.

Fucko the clown makes the laws now

because there's one rule for him and another for the British public.

Unbiased is a bit too far...after all he is allowing Boris and co to lie in his presence and knowledge.

give over, mans a cretin

@@Thanos1908 He has to follow a procedure. He can't force the PM to say the truth. However, considering the speaker is Labour and he allows a Conservative PM to do that... Well, that says something, that doesn't it? He respects the procedure, no matter if the PM is a clown or not.
