So that's MP corruption fully approved of by our government; who even want to change the rules to accommodate it.

Do our tory voters approve?

Let us hope this is remembered at the next election. I fear not though, as people have short memories.

Absolutely disgusting. The government has reached an all-time low.

The one about Owen Patterson’s suspension. The committee didn’t reach the conclusion the government wanted so they want to change the rules. Or something like that….

Is this about the vote that just got carried by the government by a majority of 18 votes?

Aaron Bell. I’ve just thanked him.

One Conservative MP intervened and has just said he can’t support it but I missed who he was.

The system threw up an answer they didn’t like so they’re trying to change the system….

I’m appalled by what is happening. So much for democracy. The whole thing stinks….

Just to waste tie and not answer questions-

the Speaker should never allow him, them, to get away with this!

Just watching him in Parliament. He’s now quoting Shakespeare……
