The "Update, Update!" take is wearing thin as an associative reference to the Speaker's "Order, Order!" said in his own spectacularly unauthoritative manner (particularly as regards labour politicians). I promise to change it next time Michael Martin behaves in a stupid manner that I can bother to comment upon.
He is at it again. See the title link.The Daily Mail reports today:
"House of Commons Speaker Michael Martin launched a High Court bid today to block an "unlawfully intrusive" decision to force disclosure of MPs' expenses".It also reports:
"The decision to challenge the Tribunal angered many MPs and freedom of information campaigners, not least because of its cost.Speaker Martin appears to have a genious for only one thing: damaging himself and damaging everyone else who has ever been associated with him; including both his wife and every other member of parliament of whatever party.
Westminster's anti-sleaze chief, Sir Christopher Kelly, described the move as "unfortunate" and said it suggested MPs have something to hide".
THE QUIZ QUESTION FOR TODAY CAN ONLY BE:
Is Michael Martin the worst Speaker in history?
