Speaking of integrity in this house he’s about as much value as democracy in the PRC. I don’t recall Dorries ever being held to account for her deranged rants.

[mikeyboy]

Yet when Johnson and his cabinet made statements to the press all this bag of jelly would say ‘I’m Disappointed’.

[mendozamoore]

Didn’t David Davis tell loads of brexit lies? So shouldn’t he be apologising for misleading the country?

[kw]

It's amazing how accurate MP's can be with their answers when they're giving each other grief but when you ask them a straight question about something they did they become a human riddle.

[JonoPS]

A Tory going on about “telling the truth”

Gosh, so much lack of self-awareness.

[rodb]

And they have to refer to MPs as 'Right Honorable' ... when many if not most of them (including a former PM and a few ministers as well) are ANYTHING BUT HONORABLE.

[Dannya]

Hoyle didn't need any help making himself unpopular with the people!

[MrCharlieTwist]

"We have a duty to tell the truth, " - how a Tory can say this is astonishing

[jamesclough]

Pretty impressive that he was able to stand for so long while obviously lacking a spine.

[Stormx]

Poor speaker being held accountable for his actions, did he once demand an apology from Johnson for lying to the house? How many time have the Tory party gone over the speakers head and made announcements to the public before the house and what did the speaker do, have a little temper tantrum and then moved on.. he really is a joke at this point, a useless self centered joke.

So when Boris Johnson trashes the integrity of Parliament, how robust is the Speaker on those occasions?

[Malky]

David "we didn't do any impact statements for Brexit on British business" Davis lecturing people on telling the truth is farcical. How he's still in the Commons is beyond me.

[zephyrbear]

Seems to me Mr Speaker, you don’t need the honourable gentleman’s help in making you look bad…

[kevincook]

The biggest laugh in that is Lindsey Hoyle saying he's impartial 😂😂

[condal]

So Dorries gets off Scot free, soon to be elevated to the HoL and out of harms way. What a complete joke our political class has become. What a disgrace to this once great nation. Shame on them all, the actors and the passive observers, who should of done something.

[GiraffeCrab]

Our political system is not fit for purpose.

[blzebub]

Hoyle can scarcely string two words together.

[catherinemartin]

What’s the point of the house speaker if he doesn’t do his bloody job

[hayleydoherty]

For a speaker for the house he does not read from a sheet very clearly. Surely it's in the title of the job, speaker of the house should speak clearly. He definitely is not impartial either

[allandonnelly]

So it's OK to lie to select Committees but if you complain you are in trouble.
