The speaker of the house divulged the school that Michael Goves children attend in the H of P last night.

This is surely not what he is paid to do, MPs children should not be put in a vulnerable position, will there now have to be security at the school?

The headteacher is female.

I believe the words were along the lines of

I say to the Chancellor of the Duchy, that when he turns up at our school as a parent, he's a very well-behaved fellow.
He wouldn't dare behave like that in front of [the school] and neither would I
That David and Sam Cameron’s daughter goes to Greycoats is public knowledge, do Bercow’s and Gove’s daughters go there too - so why the pearl clutching?

The 'headmaster's' name (which is also public knowledge) seems to indicate that she is female.
Bercow's passing remark didn't make that big an impact, did it?

She is making a bundle from her " speaking out" which is basically ill informed fear mongering and some bloke selling a dodgy book.

If this lady genuinely care, there are many routes she could take. she is not some saviour drawing attention to things.

Anniebach Wed 04-Sept-19 20:46:47

Then don’t condemn those who can speak out

Lessismore Wed 04-Sept-19 20:39:40

I look forward to the day my mate Shaz from the estate gives her story, no access to MH help, no chance of a GP appointment, no way of getting to a shop to buy fresh food, passed around and around useless services who have nothing to offer.

MawB Wed 04-Sept-19 20:08:35

I thought it was quite amusing!

Anniebach Wed 04-Sept-19 20:05:58

This is not the thread to defend or attack a woman who speaks of her experience of mental health problems and medication

Chewbacca Wed 04-Sept-19 20:05:55

Off with his head and on with a cabbage

But how would we tell the difference?

Lessismore Wed 04-Sept-19 20:04:21

depression, ships that pass in the night, Meghan, blah blah....do you think she actually cares?

Lessismore Wed 04-Sept-19 20:02:55

She can " speak out" all she likes. Possibly without the publicist of a rather dubious book behind her.

Anniebach Wed 04-Sept-19 19:43:05

seems the only people who should speak about their experience of anti depressants must be a ‘sweaty, troubled middle aged underling! ‘

Anniebach Wed 04-Sept-19 19:38:31

Bercow gave the name of the headmaster

Off with his head and on with a cabbage!?

Firecracker123 Wed 04-Sept-19 19:33:06

Seems some posters have chips on their shoulders re the upper classes, they prefer the champagne socialists.

Anniebach Wed 04-Sept-19 19:32:27

So Sarah Vine shouldn’t speak out about her experience of anxiety and anti depressants because she is wealthy ?

Firecracker123 Wed 04-Sept-19 19:28:44

Sally Bercow is probably keeping a low profile after her affair with Bercow's cousin Alan.

GracesGranMK3 Wed 04-Sept-19 19:26:59

More obfuscation. The OP should come with an apology as he didn't, to my memory, actually mention the name of the school. He just said "our children's school". I appreciate it makes a better OP but the truth is always best.

As for Speaker Bercow, he is doing a great job with the entitled upper class twits who think the rules don't apply to them.

Lessismore Wed 04-Sept-19 19:20:53

Sarah Vine is a fan of Dr James Davies,his work is largely discredited.

She is not some champion of the sweaty, troubled masses of middle aged underlings. She is making a fortune on top of fortune.

I agree about Betty Boothroyd...

Yes, I believe she is campaigning and good for her.

What is Sally Bercow doing these days?

Lessismore Wed 04-Sept-19 18:43:44

just another annoying Tory wife.

Apparently she is a highly talented journalist who is on a mission to draw attention to the over prescribing of anti depressants?

Callistemon Wed 04-Sept-19 18:34:57

It looks like the gloves are off though, doesn't it!

Callistemon Wed 04-Sept-19 18:31:43

It's not really the point, though, is it, whether or not the school that the Gove children go to is in the public domain or not.

It was using personal information about an MP to ridicule him in Parliament.
Ridicule an MP if he must, but not by using something about his private life to do so.

Anniebach Wed 04-Sept-19 18:31:07

Should the headmaster be named in Parliament ?
