The Speaker very irate!

The poor man needs a microphone! His voice just doesn't carry - unlike Bercow's, you could certainly hear him above the baying mob!

Wouldn't have lasted long in a classroom of difficult children.

Yesterday Hoyle said, ‘I expect better behaviour; and I’m going to get it’.
This and the other things he comes out with, really remind me of a Mid-Day Supervisor (aka Dinner lady) fighting a losing battle with the kids.

Great minds Batty!

Bring back Bercow!

Oh yes bring back Bercow little man with a big voice and nig afraid to tackle,anyone like him or loathe him he wasn’t afraid

I wouldn't mind Bercow back, at least he kept order.

No one could top Betty Boothroyd in her day! A Yorkshire lass and a force to be reckoned with!

Betty Boothroyd and Bercow were giants. I want to like Hoyle but I don’t see him having the power humour and determination to keep order. His voice doesn’t help him and the bear pit noises are tedious.

Hoyle isn’t the right person for the job of Speaker.

I'm sure he's a very nice man but perhaps too nice for the job of Speaker.

Bring back Bercow - ORDER, ORDER

Nice enough man but weak as the speaker. I liked Bercow as the speaker not commenting about anything else.

It is the MPs who should be criticised, not the Speaker.
Betty Boothroyd and Lord Tonypandy yes; Bercow no, not impartial.

I thought he sounded rather ignorant tbh.

He’s poor.

It was an absolute shambles, and we are paying these 'kids' to act like that!

What other workplace would accept it I wonder?

I agree!
However, few, if any, had a good word to say about Bercow when he occupied the Speaker’s Chair and Hoyle seemed a pleasant, well-mannered, reasonable change -plus he had a good SOH.
If schoolkids are rowdy, I blame the kids , not the teacher!

Bring back Bercow - *ORDER, ORDER*

Hear hear Calli

IMHO Bercow kept to the rules beautifully and was absolutely impartial. I hope he gets that peerage one day. It doesn’t bear thinking about who will be on Johnson’s resignation honours list…

The Banksy picture depicting the House of commons as chimps sums it up exactly I think.

I think Hoyle is doing fine. Give him time to develop. Bercow was banned for alleged bullying so I doubt he will get a peerage at all though in my view he was a good Speaker and tried to ensure Brexit was properly considered. But Johnson and Frost are responsible for the Brexit shambles.

I like the Speaker. It's the baying mob of MPs who need a kick up the backside. Oh for a civilised House of Commons.

He shouldn't have to bellow and shout at the MPs - but they're showing their true colours and I think they're like a whole load of unruly school children who haven't yet grown up and started to act like adults in this environment. And we're meant to vote for these people?????
