To find John Bercow very attractive

[EnlightenmentwasaPassingPhase]

What a man!

Do you think when his children are causing a racket at home he comes in shouting Orderrr, Orderr?

Jesus Christ. What is going on here?

I'm going to put together a calender with the most ugly men in Westminster and sell in to MN for Xmas. There's clearly money in it.

January can be Jacob Rees-Mogg with a union jack flannel to hide his modesty, February can be Hammond who will pose with his briefcase, For March we'll have Bercow, I suppose he can keep his little cape. Anyway, I'm sure I can fill a year with the fantasies of you wong'uns.

teyem BoJo for April?

Yes, BoJo for sure.

This device had been discussed at least 48 hours prior to his announcement yesterday. If I was aware of it I'm sure govt folks would have known.

A further practice of dishonesty from our PM and govt, pretending it has been all a shock and were not expecting it.

Though the executive has been controlling Parliament for so long it is probably a shock to learn it can't have it's own way all the time.

I would have said you were totally mad but he's wearing a very nice jumper in that video of the BBC doorstepping him this morning and while he's not doing it for me, I can see how your attraction may be valid.

God, no. Keir Starmer is my Parliamentary crush!

He's good looking, very clever but not an orator. I think Chuka is rather dishy.

Let’s not get into the physical attributes of the man TBF this IS a thread about a crush.

OP, I get it and I've had a mini-crush on him ever since he slapped down whoever it was who accused him of having a Bollocks to Brexit sticker on his car.

It's the obvious intelligence, articulacy, speaking skills and the twinkle in the eye.

I fancy Keir too, but he isn't as charismatic as John.

Chuka Umunna is a snake in the grass.

I don't see this charisma. Loud bully imo.

I’ve met Chuka a few times. He’s very personable, slick - a bit shorter than you might think. He seems very normal to all intents and purposes. What nobody knows is why he suddenly dropped out of the running for Labour leader. There are a group who have been planning to form a third party for some time, but I wonder if he would stand as leader, or if whatever prevented him first time is still relevant?

The Nos have it - the Nos have it!

The arrogance of TM in thinking she can run the clock down by bringing the same thing back until she forced the answer she wants

You mean just like remainers want to do with a second referendum?

Tony Blair was looking a bit hot this morning on TV, I'd ruin him

I wanted to start the same thread but was too embarrassed. There's something strangely attractive about him.

Alexa - Well I’ve had enough if all this nonsense about the “will of the people.” The whole Brexit shenanigan is based (at best) on the will of one-third if the population, many of whom now realise they were lied to. It’s utter hypocrisy, in this context, for TM to be defining what is and what isn’t a “meaningful vote” within Parliament. And then this morning, the Brexit secretary, actually trying to justify a third attempt at getting TM’s deal through on the grounds that “MPs may have changed their minds” in the last week! Well what if the public have changed their minds, you know, during this two-year debacle?

@AlexaAmbidextra I'm sure this has been said thousands of times on MN as well as other public forums, but the reason some people want a second referendum (although I highly doubt there'll be one) is to vote on this issue with the knowledge we have now, that we didn't have nearly 3 years ago.

It's not about just trying over and over again until we get a remain result, it's about making sure the majority of the public support what the government are doing.

A man of principle. Such a refreshing rarity. My new hero.

I still wouldn’t though ....

Don’t leave Milliband out of the calendar! He had quite a following at one point, didn’t he!

Which one? Maybe we can double them up for June?

Yes! Both together

Actually, I might have to start eating my words at this point, because if we can drag - poised for a return -politicians, I think David is alright

What nobody knows is why he suddenly dropped out of the running for Labour leader. There are a group who have been planning to form a third party for some time, but I wonder if he would stand as leader, or if whatever prevented him first time is still relevant?

I've wondered this a lot too. I think the reason given was that he hadn't realised how much public scrutiny his family and friends would be subjected to. But surely the same applies now as the key member of a break away group (and the obvious choice as leader should they form a party).

Or-derrrrrr!

I thought Bercow was great yesterday with his 1604 speech, but as for fancying him no not really as he's a lot shorter and older than me plus a bit swarmy. Anyway he's trying to keep order order as May hasn't got a bloody clue and is a stubborn erm person and brexit definitely is bollocks so he's doing his job
