What does the Speaker of the House of Commons do when they're not keeping order in the chamber? Sir Lindsay Hoyle gave The Times Red Box an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of his office to explain all, from deciding the day’s parliamentary business to plans to open up his plush state rooms to the public after an expensive restoration project.

I've a lot of time for Sir Lindsay. Not just because it's great to hear such a prominent Lancastrian voice in public life, but I was a young trainee surveyor working for a coal mining company who wanted to develop a landfill site in his constituency. The way that Hoyle, a local councillor, stood up for the constituents who elected him, taught me a lot about democracy.

The problem is he does absolutely nothing to prevent Boris from repeatedly lying to the house. If MP's and the PM aren't telling the truth to the house and nothing is done about it, it's just a pointless pantomime. If the current framework of procedures isn't able to stop the lies then the speaker should change the procedures.

@tomblackwell6374 2 года назад

@@origin9249The rules around un-parliamentary language prevent a greater level of scrutiny. For example the speaker is forced by convention/rules to remove any MP from debate for saying another MP lied or intentionally mislead Parliament regardless of whether they actually have or not. This restricts freedom of speech, dampens the value of debate in Parliament and only encourages more unofficial debates on tv/press. Don't get me started about 'The Right Honourable' title tripe too, representing your constituency is the only title that should count unless they are a minister/shadow minister.
