Parmjit Dhanda only wants to become Speaker so that neither the Tories nor the Lib Dems will contest Gloucester.
That's "Gloucester" as in "Cheltenham & Gloucester".

Political prisoner, activist, journalist, hymn-writer, emerging thinktanker, aspiring novelist, "tribal elder", 2019 parliamentary candidate for North West Durham, Shadow Leader of the Opposition, "Speedboat", "The Cockroach", eagerly awaiting the second (or possibly third) attempt to murder me.
The list of wannabe Speakers is odd.
ReplyDeleteI suspect Margaret Beckett (MP for Derby and Caravanshire West) is looking for a big pay day and an uncontested election in 2010. As she was one of the least apologetic about her snout in the trough, it seems unlikely she can really deliver on reform.
Frank Field (MP for Birkenhead and Barking Mad) announces that Labour wont win with Gordon Brown in charge. Reasonable enough view but not for one with pretensions to neutrality.
And Ann Widdicombe (MP for Maidstone and Celebrity Fit Club)....well she has presented Have I got News For You..........hardly the gravitas we expect. I think Max Clifford (or some other "agent") is behind this celebrity.....I cant take that awful woman seriously.
