The Speaker

Presiding Officer of the House of Commons. Strictly non-partisan. Not really the actual speaker. ORDER!

[The Speaker @SpeakerCommons]

@Ayohugh @hannahrosewoods Look, I dealt with this earlier in the day - Hunt was out of #ORDER! Do I still get access to the Commons Bar if I get a peerage? #AskingForAFriend https://t.co/Jb7N2sncf7

[The Speaker @SpeakerCommons]

@MmzelleFrenchie No it bloody isn't! As if I haven't got enough to deal with, he's doing the #Budget2023 straight after #PMQs... 🙄 I'll no doubt be eating lunch at about 4pm - might have to have a glass of red 🍷 to wash it down before I call Hunt into my office for a carpeting. #FFS

[The Speaker @SpeakerCommons]

He'll get nothing from me apart from an almighty bollocking for releasing half his speech on social media this morning. #BudgetDay2023 #ORDER

Jeremy Hunt receives long service award from No 10 after celebrating five months as chancellor.

Hope this doesn't drag on too long Jezza. I hate it when I don't get lunch until 3pm. #BudgetDay2023 #BudgetDebate2023

[Sir Jeremy Hunt MP @Jeremy_Hunt]

My budget tomorrow sets out the next stage of the Government’s plan to halve inflation, grow the economy and reduce debt.

Building on the stability we gained from my Autumn Statement, I will set out the next steps to drive economic growth across the UK.

[The Speaker @SpeakerCommons]

Rather fond of turnip pizza 🍕 myself, but chefs in the Commons Dining Room tell me it's not been a big seller in the past so they're sticking to the pheasant & venison toppings for the time being. #ORDER https://t.co/mhWuoJdYCZ

[The Speaker @SpeakerCommons]

@ChrissieGrech @leeandersonmp I have to deal with these pricks all day! If it makes you feel any better I punched him in the Commons Bar the other night after he took a swing at me for rebuking him. One left hook to the chin and he was on the floor - one-nil to the Speaker! Don't tell the 'papers. #ORDER

[The Speaker @SpeakerCommons]

@walks_sc @andyindk @Jamesbobble @DgLimited @ABridgen Sorry @walks_sc my diary is chock full of drinks receptions plus I spend half my life dealing with incompetent MPs so your complaint is probably in my overflowing in-tray somewhere...🙄 I'll have to get the Deputy Speaker on the case. #delegation #ORDER

[The Speaker @SpeakerCommons]

@mrdissent @PeteWishart @goanabootbiddy I had a bet with the Deputy Speaker in the Commons Bar that I could put a procedure through on this that hadn't been used since before the Second World War. Won a crisp £50 note - which reminds me, she still owes me the cash! #ORDER

[The Speaker @SpeakerCommons]

@JohnRitchie3 I've just looked and he still hasn't taken that tweet down! He's got some bloody cheek - it's all about procedure here you know. #ORDER

[The Speaker @SpeakerCommons]

@particulates21 Look here @particulates21, I play snooker with the Deputy Speaker every Tuesday night and we always have a few glasses of wine 🍷. Quite frankly the last thing I want to do on a Wednesday lunchtime with a hangover is #PMQs.

[The Speaker @SpeakerCommons]

Ah, Saturday afternoon - I always like to spend this time working out which cabinet minister will resign in the coming week. Had @SuellaBraverman as a dead cert but having to revise my forecast with @DominicRaab now a strong favourite! #ToryShambles #government #MPs #TipOfTheDay

[The Speaker @SpeakerCommons]

I do love a lie-in on a Monday *YAWN* - plus the weather's rubbish. See you this afternoon for the start of this week's shenanigans. 🙄 #MPs

@jamesa0330 @gemmagould @HouseofCommons I may be useless but don't ever accuse me of being a #Tory! I'm outraged. #ORDER

[The Speaker @SpeakerCommons]

@moodyoldblue Look here, before I became Speaker I was a member of the Labour Party I'll have you know! Got to be impartial now and quite frankly I'm sick of the lot of them braying like donkeys during #PMQs. Plus I'm hungover again after yet another drinks reception last night...🙄🍷#FFS

[The Speaker @SpeakerCommons]

@NEILK1952 @SkyNews Bit unfair Neil - hectic few weeks and it's tough to keep up with what the hell is going on to be honest! Looked at the evidence, remained impartial, used my discretion, had a few glasses of Malbec, and decided everyone already knows they're #ToryFascists #FFS

[The Speaker @SpeakerCommons]

@tivaisgreener @MattHancock I have to remain impartial in these matters, as I'm sure you're aware - and I have to use discretion on points of #order. However, in this case I'm prepared to make an exception - the attached clip tells you everything you need to know. #EGO #HancockOut

Bit of a boozy weekend so decided I wasn't coming in this morning. Anyway, whose turn is it to be #PrimeMinister this week? 🤔

@EV4Business @HouseofCommons Sorry, I was too busy making sure all of the bloody #clocks in this place are going to be reset over the weekend - very #important work, I'm sure you understand. #clocksgoback Anyway it's #POETS day so I'm off duty! #FridayFeeling

[UK House of Commons @HouseofCommons]

The Palace of Westminster is home to over 2,000 clocks that have to be manually reset by our clock mechanics twice each year.

This week's #FridayPhoto illustrates just one of the many clocks around the palace that will go back by one hour on Sunday morning.

[The Speaker @SpeakerCommons]

Point of order - time for my tea and biscuits. See you at midday! #order ☕ 🍪
