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.

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

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

Sir Lindsay Hoyle nearly had a meltdown yesterday before he ordered two Alba MPs out of The Commons.

I'm afraid he's not a very commanding Speaker - amiable but not up to the job. He threw out those two but did nothing apart from repeatedly yell "Shut up!" to a Tory on his right.

I bet he's looking forward to the recess!
