He's currently handing Sajid Javid his arse and it's making me feel all funny

He's a perfectly charming guy at a superficial level but I believe he's not that pleasant to underlings. He's surprisingly small in stature which is not my cup of tea at all, so you're welcome to him. 😂

NoBaggyPants · 04/09/2019 13:44

Can't say I've got a crush on him, but I do admire how he does his job. He's a stickler for procedure and I like that.

He is a Tory though. Or at least he was, pretty sure he'd have had the whip removed this week.

I met him when at university and he was a pleasant man. Though the allegations about his behaviour towards staff are not good.

TheresWaldo · 04/09/2019 13:48

I love watching him. I wish I could think on my feet like that, especially late at night after hours of debate. My brain would have melted.

Love his theatricals... but surely I’m not the only one to think he reminds them of Rumpelstiltskin in Shrek.

Tonnerre · 04/09/2019 13:50

Those in the know rate him as one of the best Speakers we've had. That's why the likes of Johnson an the Mail hate him, of course.

LambChopsMcGee · 04/09/2019 13:52

YANBU.

He was on a train I was on once with DD when she was about 11 months, just talking. He walked past and she said "HIYA!!" and he stopped to talk to her.

As far as Tories go, he's my fave. Him and Rory.

"ORDER!!!"

YANBU. He's very charismatic and quick-witted, which is why he's such a good speaker. I'm very glad we've had him at the helm for this period of utter nonsense.

She's not the brightest button in the box going by her errors of judgement, but that's a vile comment to make about any woman

^this

Completely irrelevant and appalling to say that about her.

As for him, he’s an absolute tool but he needs to be in that environment.

FilthyforFirth · 04/09/2019 14:00

YADNBU! I absolutely luffs him. Just told DH I was leaving him for JB and he replied not if I leave you for him first!

BigSandyBalls2015 · 04/09/2019 14:02

Can't see the attraction at all ... would rather get it on with that traveller Sally did a programme or two with.

SchrodingersMeowth · 04/09/2019 14:02

Not a crush but I do enjoy watching him, he makes watching HoC almost entertaining.

Bubbletrouble43 · 04/09/2019 14:05

Thank God it's not just me op. He's on my embarrassing crush list too ( with Tommy Lee Jones and many others)

GruciusMalfoy · 04/09/2019 14:11

He's good viewing, but very red, it purely me on edge. I worry about him taking a funny turn one day in the middle of an ORDEEEERRRR

honeyloops · 04/09/2019 14:21

YANBU. I really fancy him.

PooWillyBumBum · 04/09/2019 14:37

Ewwww YABU.

Hate the way he says “awww-daaah!”. The weird rant when he mentioned their kids’ head teacher Colin was inappropriate.

Kitty1184 · 04/09/2019 14:39

@Bubbletrouble43 my other one is Michel Roux Jr 😕

ColonelCathcart · 04/09/2019 14:44

YANBU. I would.

BelleCarig · 04/09/2019 14:47

I get it. I also adore michel roux Jr (FWIW!)

RavenLG · 04/09/2019 14:49

I prefer the Sweary Bercow Twitter more than the man himself. It's hilarious.

curlykaren · 04/09/2019 14:50

JB rocks, hard.

justmyview · 04/09/2019 14:51

I hate the way he shouts "Or Derr!"

Kitty1184 · 04/09/2019 14:56

@RavenLG this is amazing 🤣🤣
