Why hasn't the
PM done anything at all about the Commons scandal, he's happier posing with Beckham and Rooney while the country is asking for heads to roll. michael Martin's pathetic auti-cued apology has only heightened these demands, if he doesn't step down as speaker, then he should be sacked, saving the tax-payer yet more money when it come to the GE in June 2010, when he would receive a handsome golden handshake, GB, is doing absolutley sweet fa about this,,,hoping it will just go away attitude.

but there could be a vote of no confidence in the speaker zac??
by GB distancing himself, he has weakened an already weakened position, he isn't a leader at all, what's more worrying, come a GE, just who do you vote for they are all at it, They could print a list of the MPs who haven't taken the public to the cleaners, their voices should be heard too

Joy....I have always known that you are multi-talented....bingo, socks and shares, jewelry expert and now politics.
Lucky man,,,,that Mr. Joy.
Back to the speaker....he will be gone in the next 2 days, BUT should not be used as a scapegoat for the MP's expenses row.
For me, most of the perks scandal are "no big deal" but the flippin and mortgage interest claims when the mortgage has been payed off is scandalous.

Yes, I think we should be careful of the impulse to tar them all with the same brush.
Some have been stupid allegations that are neither here nor there, some more serious and a few have been close to if not actually criminal.
But the speaker does not report to Gordon Brown he's elected by the whole house.
It's really tricky because if they set a precident of hiring and firing speakers that one side or other disapproved of there would be nothing to stop the same thing happening in future for political reasons.
If you heard Cameron on the Today program this morning, he was really trying to avoid calling for MM's resignation too and for the same reason
That's why it would be so much better for MM to step down rather than have a vote of no confidence force him to.

yes, just seen it, he's going this afternoon, he has played a big part in this scandal by putting forward a motion in the house making MPs exempt from scrutiny, this was to go through next January, then we would never have found out.
A motion in the house becomes midful of just what this lot are,,,lol

The Speaker was removed 300 years ago so the same could potentially happen today. The whole House of Commons needs a v good shake up or kick up the jacksie anyhow. Our government are a big embarrasment to the whole of the UK yet alone the rest of the world+ the opposition are not a great deal better it would seem either. The saintly MP's with little or very low extra expenses are in the minority, sadly. The Speaker needs to have a backbone especially a moral backbone as does the whole house of commons or else our honorary members are far from honourable. Scandal in politics will take longer to erradicate than swine flu, most probably.
