A little while ago we had a thread about the new Speaker

Very sad too about the death of his younger daughter.

This is the programme Profile

Read an article about him yesterday and he sounds like a decent bloke.

Thank goodness for someone normal !!

That's quite an array of pets in the video! If he can handle all those at once, there is hope!

Yep, I like him as well

Yes, I think he looks and sounds good.
Very, very sad about his daughter, what a terrible experience.

I am very pleased that we seem to have a normal, respectable man who will hopefully bring back some proper behaviour within parliament. I think he is going to have a difficult task though.

I think he would have suffered in the South of England as well - what a very southern centric comment.

He said he had a cordial working relationship with Bercow but that no, they weren’t friends. His father named him after an Australian cricketer apparently!

His father should have ‘thought on’.?

I agree B9exchange anyone who loves animals must be a decent person.
Lindsay Hoyle sounded like a thoroughly down to earth sensible person. Lets hope he can instil some decent behaviour into MPs.

I like him, from what I have seen.
I am from the North and there was a Lindsay in my class. It wasn’t popular as a girls name then.
There was also a Beverley and a Marian.
