Political campaign endorsement
It is a minor source of etymological amusement that despite the name, the "Speaker" of the House of Commons is actually meant by constitutional convention to shut up. By which I mean that the Speaker ought not to give public voice to his personal political opinions, in order to ensure that there is no suspicion of favouritism in the management of the business of the House. Even after leaving office, by convention the Speaker does not take part in party politics.
It is with this in mind that I heartily endorse the candidature of Frank Field.
Put like that I'd go for a jobshare between Field and Anne Widdecombe.
ReplyDeleteWiddecombe's sound on the issues that matter, though of course her politics are horrid.

Gdr - all the more reason to get her off the Tory benches.
ReplyDeleteDiddy's scared of Frank. No surprise there.
