He did the last thing the speaker is supposed to do - he spoke out. In his case against Trump's visit to the UK.I've always liked Bercrow, why is it Tories don't like him?

The Tories don't care about Trump, they hated Bercow long before that incident.He did the last thing the speaker is supposed to do - he spoke out. In his case against Trump's visit to the UK.

I was gonna say him resigning as lib dem shadoe home sec is like me resigning from being a professional footballer because i once got paid to play a 5 aside gameI had no idea the Lib Dems had a shadow cabinet.
Big Vinny Cable to take over?Farron's resigned.
They don't, only her majestically official opposition do.I had no idea the Lib Dems had a shadow cabinet.
It's an incredible statement:So basically he's quit because leading the Liberal Democrats was at odds with him being a homophobe
He voted against a law that made it illegal for public services to be denied to gay people.I kind of feel for him; if actions speak louder than words then I don't think it should matter that much what his personal opinion is so long as he acts for equality and tolerance - which is what he has done as an MP.
Not a great advert for religion though is it?
Who do the Lib Dems have to take over. Just seen the video .So he's stepped down because of LGBT reasons .FFS
Vince Cable???I assume it'll be Jo Swinson.
Eleven years ago, that would've been an idea.Vince Cable???
Yep.Good riddance.
You must be happy to see you buddy Owen there mind!Delighted that Corbyn hasn't put Bomber Benn or Yvette 'WCA' Cooper into the shadow cabinet.
Shrewd move given the political climate. They'll be too busy wondering what the feck he's on about to notice the arms dealing vicar's daughter fecking up the GFA.You must be happy to see you buddy Owen there mind!
He voted against a law that made it illegal for public services to be denied to gay people.
He voted to allow registrars to refuse to carry out same-sex marriages on religious grounds, as well as separately voting to increase protection for those refusing to conduct same sex marriage ceremonies.
He abstained from a key vote to legalise same-sex marriage.
He voted against the Equality Act Regulations regarding sexual orientation which criminalised a lot of discrimination against gay people, which was actually against his party.
His record isn't as bad as some, but it's not the best and he's certainly not consistent with acts for equality and tolerance.
Mainly cause she's not trying to lead the Lib Dems.Interestingly, its not really any worse than May's record, although she did, of course, vote for gay marriage at the last big, very public vote.
Yet may never really faces the same questions, despite shoving her religion in our face far more than Farron ever did.
As far as we know.Mainly cause she's not trying to lead the Lib Dems.
