I see that the insufferable spunktrumpet, Dennis Skinner's been making an absolute bellend of himself again.

[Worthy4England]

You mean he did his almost annual one liner when Black Rod turned up? Or is there some other level of OMGZ that we missed?

Black Rod couldn't help laughing!

Thought it was quite funny myself!

[Bruce Rioja]

I just find him incredibly rude. The fact that he's regularly rude is certainly no excuse.

[Worthy4England]

I'll go and OMG it on Twitter, then.

He's definitely that. He's not alone in that trait though amongst our politicians. See the speaker shot down that Rees-Mogg creature today.

Haven't seen the Rees-Mogg thang. I'll have a look around. I'm a real admirer of John Bercow, btw.

Embarrassing stuff from Boris. The Tories Dianne Abbott.

Man of the People, Mr Compassionate Corbyn here, refusing to bow before the Queen, prior to winking to his mates. Embarrassing stuff from Jeremy.

You do know that he didn't refuse, as it isn't actually protocol to bow. Cameron never did for example.

Just saying....

Winking at your mates after not doing?

So you do as you are expected and then see someone you know and wink at them? There is plenty things to have a go at Corbyn about but this isn't one of them.

Whipped up by the right wing press who rapidly had to edit their stories when it was pointed out that many Tory leaders haven't bowed.

For what it's worth I'd not bow to the queen under any circumstances. Why would I? She means nowt to me.

[Lord Kangana]

Forgive me, but if students aren't going to pay the fees, who is?

And if you can follow that through to it's logical conclusion, why don't we just pay for it though taxation, rather than at the moment paying for it through, er, anyone? Magic money tree or taxation? That is assuming that the massive unpaid pile of student debt isn't paid for by some private benevolent business?

[Lord Kangana]

Oh, and I love Dennis Skinner. Most honest man in Parliament.

If that wasn't bad enough, I now read that arch-Remoaner Tim Farron designed the Queen's hat!!!!!!! What is this country coming to when a here-today-god-bothering-tomorrow millinerist politician can hijack centuries of royal tradition just to ruin Theresa May's big day!!!!!!!!

And he didn't bow.

Or wink.

Bastard!!!!!!!!!!!

Slagging Gordon Brown off (and Clegg tbf) at the moment is absolute insanity. Both (along with Cameron) politicians of a much higher pedigree than anything either front bench has to offer at the moment, and by some distance.

Who do you think was responsible for what we have now got?

American Bankers and the British Electorate.

Ah, so not a pair of clowns and a wideboy then.

[Prufrock]

I can work out what you're on about, like, maybe 50% of the time.

[Montreal Wanderer]

Did anyone see this dust-up between Piers Morgan and Tommy Robinson this morning, by the way?

I can't stand either of them so wouldn't have watched it anyway but I believe that it all but kicked off between them.

Talking of racist cretins, I'm in Brum this week and apparently there's an EDL marched planned. I was there a couple of months ago and they had one then too. People will be drawing their own conclusions in a bit.

Let me understand this, Bruce. Every time you go to Birmingham, the EDL holds a march to celebrate the event. Frankly I have no idea what conclusion to draw....

[Worthy4England]

I am starting to worry that there might be some people on the Labour benches that can't pronounce "scones" properly. No really. It should be headline news.
