Does anyone except Corbyn think he deserves one. One nasty biased man in my opinion.

Buenchico - // He quite rightly stuck to the over-riding principles of the way that Parliament must be run and, like all good leaders, he quite rightly didn't give a damn about whom he upset along the way. // One small flaw in that argument, he was not a 'leader', he was The Speaker, and in his role he was to remain above politics and maintain an attitude of...

The link says he’s “sorry” but that he’s “not going to sit awake at night worrying about it.“
And I’m sure he won’t.
Personally I agree with Chris, and I think the petty-mindedness of the government is pathetic. If they’d come out and accuse him of the things people comfortably accuse him of on here then I’d have some respect for that at least.

This has been covered before, but the recent times saw a situation in Parliament unlike any we’ve seen in generations. He had no choice to come down on one side or the other and he chose to back Parliament. Unsurprisingly, given he is the Speaker for the Parliament and not the government.

"Boris did nothing wrong in advising the Queen to prorogue parliament." (JD @ 22.37 Sat)
The justices of the Supreme Court decided...unanimously...that Johnson had acted unlawfully in unnecessarily proroguing Parliament for as long as he did.
I thought Brexiteers were the very people who actively insisted that British courts were to be the final arbiters of legality in this country. (Until the decision of the highest court in the land went against them, of course!)

Bercow and prorogation
"Later that day, a Government motion for the House of Commons to go into recess for the duration of the Conservative Party conference in Manchester was rejected 289–306; the defeat represented the seventh successive Government defeat in the House of Commons and continued Johnson's record of not winning a single division since taking office."
day after the case Parliament re met
and I hadnt realised / remembered they had had such fun
