Speaker criticised for speaking

The Rt Hon John Bercow MP, the current Speaker of the House of Commons, has been roundly criticised for speaking.

"It is not the place of the Speaker to actually, you know, speak," said Lordy McToff, spokesperson for the Conservative party. "He's there to stop the Opposition from speaking, not to say things himself."

When it was then pointed out that what Mr Bercow had been doing was stopping President Donald J Trump from speaking to Parliament, Mr McToff harrumphed indignantly and walked down the hallway, muttering something about 'bolshy media' and 'a good horsewhipping'.

A different view was announced by John Cantrule, spokesperson for the aforementioned Opposition. He said, "The Speaker was only saying what a lot of the other members would have said had the Speaker allowed them to speak. Which he didn't. So they couldn't. So he had to. So it makes perfect sense."

Mr Bercow, who is supposed to be completely apolitical as the Speaker of the House, ventured the opinion that the President should not be allowed the opportunity to address the combined Houses of Commons and Lords on account of his being a raging racist misogynist who also likes to ridicule the disabled.

He has since said that this was not the case.

"What I really don't like is the hair and the orange food colouring he uses on his face," the Speaker revealed. "I mean, if we stop allowing the racists, bigots, misogynists and over-privileged poor-hating rich b*stards from speaking then we'd just spend all our time listening to Jeremy Corbyn and where would be then?"
