Not Margaret Beckett. If she were a horse I would shoot her.

Give it to the lovely Ann Widdecombe ~ she has already said she will stand down at the General Election and we can then have a clean sweep and let them choose from whoever is left standing after the votes have been counted. Meanwhile Ann will be a safe pair of honest hands who at least knows what's what in the HoP ........... You know it makes sense

The speaker of the house should not be an MP. They are elected to represent their constituencies & that should be their only role.

Thinking about it, you want someone in the role who isnt going to be afraid of telling MP's they are being arseholes, so how about Gordon Ramsay or Simon Cowell.

How hypocritical can this government aim to be - when we have gone to war with countries for not having a democracy in place and pretending they are threatening their citizens and others - yet now the machiavellian  labour whips are "allegedly "  trying to 'influence ' the vote for a new speaker with great gusto   noooo:

I think she is the obvious choice.

Plus, she will enjoy being manhandled to the woolsack, not to mention allowing Black Rod to enter.
