  1. Rats abandon a ship holed below the line

    No Officer, I never met the man in my life, never spoke to him, can’t even spell his name. It’s just that one of my cats told me that Starmer asked me….

    I thought the accompanying cartoon probably summed it up well

  2. A quotation from Hoyle

    When in Doubt, win the Trick.

    Edmond Hoyle (1672-1769) Writer, esp. of card game rules and play.
    “Mr. Hoyle’s Game at Whist: Twenty-Four Short Rules for Learners,” No. 12, Hoyle’s Games Improved (1790 ed.) [ed. Charles Jones]

  3. Mel Stride is rightly rebuked by #Hoyle for saying, "She fiddled the figures"

  4. CW: Political Sketch

    "To their credit, Penny’s preening display of sanctimony was too much for many of her Tory MPs. It’s hard to imagine there ever being a time and place for such self-indulgent denial, but this certainly wasn’t it."

  5. #Hoyle claiming he tried to allow Labour's amendment because he has a duty of care to all MPs is quite a thin excuse for a massive fuck up

  6. #Hoyle endeavoured to allow the Labour motion yesterday, and by doing so, he would have got Starmer out of a hole because 50% of Labour MPs agreed with the SNP motion rather than their own parties. X

  7. CW: Political Sketch

    "The speeches themselves were unremarkable. Except for the unusual hybrid of piety and bitterness. Everyone holier than thou. Sanctimony on their side. Everyone wanted a ceasefire. Only they wanted their own ceasefire, not anyone else’s ceasefire."

  8. CW: Political Sketch

    "But the sum of it was manoeuvring for narrow advantage in a debate that everyone kept piously announcing was of the utmost seriousness."

  9. Pirotécnica bronca del 'speaker' de la Cámara de los Comunes, sir Lindsay #Hoyle, a la ministra de Comercio por publicar en la prensa detalles de un proyecto de ley antes de presentarlo al Parlamento. No es la primera vez esta legislatura.

    Empezó como un reproche, pero cuando Kemi Badenoch resolvió replicar desdeñosa "siento que no haya sido conforme a su conveniencia", Hoyle vio luz roja: "¿Con quién cree que está tratando, ministra?"

  10. While I agree with what #Hoyle said, an intervention like this is clearly inappropriate from a serving #Speaker. The role requires neutrality. Explicitly arguing against a major party’s policy is as far from neutral as it’s possible to be.

  11. CW: UK politics, integrity

    What an absolute farce. The speaker of the house is publicly reprimanding @SNP MP John Nicolson for pointing out that Nadine Dorries lied to the commons and Hoyle wasn't going to do anything about it.

    He then let David Davis have a go.

    The same David Davis who lied to parliament about the Brexit impact reports and narrowly avoided being held in contempt of parliament

    That's a first.
