Today’s visit from Speaker #JohnBercow was a huge success. Congratulations and huge thanks to @markbennister for all your efforts to get the Parliamentary Studies Module and for the months of work invested in planning today’s events. .@CanterburyCCUni | #CCCUSpeaker17

We could go on and on with the discussions, but unfortunately the public lecture by the The Rt Hon Speaker #JohnBercow at @CanterburyCCUni has now come to an end. Many thanks to the speaker and all who attended! | #CCCUSpeaker17 #CCCUPublicLecture
#JohnBercow: "The new #Canterbury MP @RosieDuffield1 has already made a great impression in parliament - she made an absolutely brilliant maiden speech." | #CCCUSpeaker17 #CCCUPublicLecture
#JohnBercow: "It does matter that we have more women and BME MPs - parliament must be more representative of the whole country. We also need more people from working class backgrounds to diversify our expertise." | #CCCUSpeaker17 #CCCUPublicLecture
#JohnBercow: "In the 10 months since voicing my opposition to a spech by #DonaldTrump to @UKParliament, nothing has happened that would have changed my mind on this subject." | #CCCUSpeaker17 #CCCUPublicLecture
Another interesting question: "Is FTPT the best electoral system for the UK?" - #JohnBercow: "I see that there are problems with our current system, but I don't think it is the most important question right now." | #CCCUSpeaker17 #CCCUPublicLecture https://t.co/j7uaDMdyMY

#JohnBercow: "Not 'I' am important, 'the office' is important. That is why I believe so strongly in outreach activities, visiting universities and also welcoming students in parliament." | #CCCUSpeaker17 #CCCUPublicLecture
#JohnBercow: "If we in parliament ever want to be respected by young people, we must respect them first. Respect is earned does not come automatically with the office of MP." | #CCCUSpeaker17 #CCCUPublicLecture
#JohnBercow also showcases a hidden talent today: impeccable impressions of his colleagues (wait for the recording to watch it yourself) | #CCCUSpeaker17 #CCCUPublicLecture
#JohnBercow is now racing through a number of interesting issues, from Hillsborough to the lack of nurseries at the Houses of Parliament - unfortunately, a bit too quickly to live-tweet it all | #CCCUSpeaker17 #CCCUPublicLecture
#JohnBercow: "One example of this happened today, when I granted an urgent question on the behaviour on Twitter by #BritainFirst, which was then followed by a debate by the home secretary and shadow home secretary" | #CCCUSpeaker17 #CCCUPublicLecture https://t.co/tw0DIHL8US
#JohnBercow: "One of my promises before being elected speaker, that I also later implemented, was to reinstate the tool of the 'urgent question' " | #CCCUSpeaker17 #CCCUPublicLecture

#JohnBercow: "There is a suprising system of people who use the terms executive & parliament or parliament & government interchangeably. While there is an overlap in our parliamentary system, it is very small" | #CCCUSpeaker17 #CCCUPublicLecture
#JohnBercow: "I believe that the debates in the chamber must be facilitated - if it is possible to give a few backbenchers the opportunity to ask questions, then I try to do so even at the expense of delays in other, less important sessions" | #CCCUSpeaker17 #CCCUPublicLecture
#JohnBercow: "These MPs do not always understand when I do not call them. You cannot please everybody." | #CCCUSpeaker17 #CCCUPublicLecture https://t.co/SLKJAYdjQj
#JohnBercow: "Unfortunately, there are some members who believe there is no debate that could not be improved without their lengthy contributions" | #CCCUSpeaker17 #CCCUPublicLecture
