My reason to be cheerful is The Speaker kicking Mrs Mayhem into touch by reminding her of the rules.
I might be more supportive of The Squeaker if he maintained neutrality in all his work. Having a car bumper sticker with B******* to Brexit suggests otherwise.

Surely the job of The Speaker is ensure that Parliamentary procedures are followed? As such, he'd be wrong NOT to block a repeat vote. I'm not saying I'm keen on the consequences, but I like to see them kicked into touch.
There is no written Constitution - something my scientists in Belgium found mind-boggling. He is using a precedent from the 17th century. It is arcane but entertaining. Remains to be seen whether it proves to be helpful to the process or just bloody-minded obstruction.

"arcane but entertaining" is what I find amusing about it. Coming from a guy who has to wear silk stockings as part of his uniform , what do you expect? We either embrace the "tradition" of "The House" or we give it an overhaul . What amuses me most is that nobody else told Mayhem about this rule. ( last used in the 1920s I heard )
