I've been outspoken in the past about Bercow and that is exactly what he is now thank goodness, ' the past' .
I always said Labour MP Lyndsay Hoyle was a far superior Deputy Speaker than the Speaker John Bercow and was so pleased he has now been selected twice by Parliament as the new Speaker.
I hope Lindsay Hoyle starts as he means to go on and brings back the impartiality required for his role and regains respect between the benches back to Parliament, the signs are good.
Parliament was brought to a level of a shouting, name calling, abusive behaviour by Bercow who could not control his temper or demeanour so it follows those around him felt they could do likewise. Lindsay Hoyle is hopefully going to be a better role model for old and new Parliamentarians.
Wishful thinking, probably, it could not have carried on as it was they shamed the nation too often and the wonderful debates they did engage in were lost in the fog of of bad behaviour which was quite puerile at times.
