One of the old school of the political world, seemed a lovely woman. A good innings I guess.

When you consider that odious little turd Bercow it puts into sharp focus the deterioration in our politics. Gorbels Mick was just plain out of his depth.

...current speaker seems a good sort

I'd be happy to make 93 so there's that

She would have been speaker when I was in my teens I think so the fact I know exactly who she is is probably a damned good indictment of the work she did and impact she had.

Thanks. I read it here first.

Probably not the word you meant.

Great speaker of the house. Her style was direct but polite, chastising naughty school boys. I liked her (she was part of the reason I became interested in politics)...

Martin and Bercow were toxic. Quite like Hoyle, he seems more in the Boothroyd style, and they were in regular contact apparently. A better kind of governance.

RIP Betty Boo. They don't make them like her any more.
