Andrew Gimson’s PMQs sketch: May denounces Corbyn as a Groucho Marxist

The Speaker must rein in self-indulgent MPs who no longer try to express themselves with the greatest possible concision and force.

But there was also a sense, outside the meeting of the 1922 Committee, that the revolution has only been postponed.

The Leader of the Opposition took the chance to do a bit of electioneering by praising Tony Blair’s achievements.

The Speaker offers a distillation of his signature style.

Interview – Davies & McVey. They back May’s deal. “I don’t try to persuade Esther that she shouldn’t do something, and she doesn’t persuade me that I should do something.”

“We’ve both been on a very different journey…our views have aligned.”

Henry Newman: Bercow has demonstrated he will do anything to frustrate Brexit. So it’s time for MPs to smell the coffee.

Critics of the deal need to compromise and accept the actual choices on offer. Refusal to do so risks an outcome far worse, or no Brexit at all.

“This ruling should not be regarded as my last word on the subject,” Bercow added.

This Parliamentary farce reveals how much our political class has been infantilised

I expected a Leave victory to be a profound shock and challenge to politicians. They have struggled to adapt even more than I anticipated.

The Prime Minister lives to fight another day, and with a bit of help from Labour she could still get her deal through.

WATCH: Baker reiterates that there would be a majority for the Malthouse Compromise

The implication is that the Government would win more votes if it kept the ERG happy.

Howard Flight: I believe the Conservative Party will hold together after Brexit

Fear of both a Corbyn government and an enraged grassroots seems to be keeping Tory MPs together in the crucial votes.

The Leader of the Opposition looked totally incapable of taking over.

The Moggcast. “Most of the poison is in the backstop.” Were it removed, Rees-Mogg might support May’s plan.

But though such a change might win his support, would it persuade his colleagues? Plus: he believes Bercow made “an honest error” last week.

The idea that this Government has made a habit of ‘constitutional outrages’ is false

David Allen Green has painted an inaccurate and flattering picture of the circumstances in which John Bercow shattered precedent this week.

Even opposition parties and Bercow’s traditional supporters were taken aback by his “ridiculous” ruling. It will have serious repercussions.
