SNP leader thrown out the chamber in an unseemly, almost unbelievable debacle.

Not to keen on Bercow.

Why because he stuck to the rules and was totally reasonable about it giving the SNP many warnings. Makes sense.

Feek · 13 Jun 2018 at 13:47

I like Bercow and I think he did exactly the right thing here.

Is that Prima Nocta thing still on the books?

Never paid attention before, he appears to have three legal(?) minions sitting in front of him giving him advice.

You had your chance to get out from under the jackboot of the 'English' Parliament, but Scotland decided to stay.

VincentHanna · 13 Jun 2018 at 13:59

They did, and then England and Wales decided to whisk the UK out of the EU, even though Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to stay.

Being English in Hertfordshire I had no vote in it.

Ahh the SNP still going on about how "Scotland" wants independence.. give it up will you, the vote was held and no we blinking well did not want independence and i dont think brexit changes that either.

I could never understand some places in Wales voting leave especially when you see 'funded by the EU' plaques everywhere. Although the people who live there aren't the brightest so I'm not overly surprised.

hmm

Blackford is my MP. Top lad. I salute anyone who riles up that little Bercow ****.

Rotty · 13 Jun 2018 at 14:17

Proper toys out of the pram by the SNP but pretty standard for them when they don't get their own way

It was so weird

“What’s the EU ever done for us?” Zak Kelly, 21, asks me this standing next to a brand new complex of buildings and facilities that wouldn’t look out of place in Canary Wharf. It’s not Canary Wharf, though, it’s Ebbw Vale, a former steel town of 18,000 people in the heart of the Welsh valleys, where 62% of the population – the highest proportion in Wales – voted Leave.

To go there – along a new dual carriageway – and stand next to the town’s new sixth form and training college, a glass and steel architectural showpiece next to its new leisure centre, a few hundred yards away from a new train station, is to stare into the abyss of the UK’s failed Remain campaign.

Even Kelly, who has just finished a training session on a brand new football pitch, backtracks slightly after asking that question. “Well, I know … they built all this,” he says, and motions his head at the impressive facilities that are all around us. “But we put in more money than we get out, don’t we?”

It's just a publicity stunt, the chances are that it'll play quite well north of the border. Irritating thing is that he has a point about the devolution debate, and had he taken his seat he may well have got his vote and then potentially further debate on the issue.

sideways14a · 13 Jun 2018 at 14:21

They might have been ignored yesterday but they were given a chance for a debate or whatnot after PMQs and then chucked a, well planned, paddy.

That said anything that winds up that we turd Berkow is worth it

It's as if people all over the country voted for all kinds of petty ignorant reasons...

Almost given up being angry about it. Replacing it with a sense of fatality.

The only one obviously riled up was Blackford. He could have taken his seat, not been a **** and got his vote at the end. Noooo, lets get kicked out and have the rest of the bunch follow in protest. Best way to get yourself heard in parliament. NOT.

It makes a mockery of the whole thing, how can you represent your party/country when you are standing outside like a naughty school boy. I don't pay my taxes for this kind of representation.

Kemik · 13 Jun 2018 at 14:33

The event was pre-planned btw. That is evident from the tweets that were sent out beforehand suggesting people should tune in to today's PMQ in particular.
