Who do we fancy as the next speaker of the house?

Clarkson.

How about Anne Widdecombe? Didn't fancy her politics much but she seems incorruptible

Rab C Nesbitt.
A Dalek.
Duncan Norvelle.
Arkwright the grocer.

I know MPs should suffer, but do we really want to subject them to hour after hour of Widdecombe's voice?

Yeah, there must be a Miss Marple adaptation somewhere that's crying out for her.

And mine.

Does it really matter who's in the position? The same people who really run the country will still be running it.

Agreed. I don't think my ears could take it, let alone my eyes. On a related Widdecombe note, I had my finest moment on Question Time when she was on it. In 1996 it was. If only I could find a clip of it somewhere.
