Parliament: Snappy Mr Squeaker
Recommend on Google+
John Bercow, not the most popular speaker, has garnered some comment for snapping at the chief Tory Whip Patrick McLoughlin. Quentin Letts has an amusing article [which includes a video clip].
Mr Squeaker’s tone was vicious, shrill, unhinged: QUENTIN LETTS on the amazing filmed row after Chief Whip accused Bercow of ‘coaching’ Labour:
“All anyone could gossip about was the Squeaker’s spat with the Government Chief Whip, Patrick McLoughlin. The squabble happened in the Chamber late on Monday, by which hour your sketchwriter was at the Bristol Old Vic casting a leathery eye over Swallows And Amazons. That admirable production features grown-ups acting like children. Not much different from the Commons, then.”
