What is Gordon Brown talking about again?

A while ago, I blogged about Gordon Brown's inability to speak properly - yesterday at Prime Minister's Questions, he continued his mangling of English.

Who is Alky Ada?

Time for Mr Speaker to be silent...

Labour MPs are rallying around the Speaker Michael Martin.

Former foreign secretary Margaret Beckett says, “What I don't understand is why there have been a whole string of nasty little stories about Mr Martin. Somebody is out to get him.”

Business Secretary John Hutton said, “He is a decent man and a good Speaker of the House of Commons.”

No, he isn’t. He is the worst Speaker of the House since Selwyn Lloyd. Martin has flown members of his family in business class from Glasgow to London for a New Year break, using air miles gained from official trips. He has claimed £17,000 a year mortgage relief for his home in Scotland even though there is not mortgage on that home and £7,500 in costs for using that home as an office.

He lets Gordon Brown get away with murder at PMQs and has used public money to fund personal legal matters.

He is a disgrace and should go immediately.

What is Gordon Brown talking about?

Apart from being probably the worst performer in living memory at Prime Minister's Questions, where did Gordon Brown learn to speak? His pronunciation of certain words gets weirder by the week. We know that John Major had the irritating habit of pronouncing "want" as "wunt" but Brown seems to have his own language.

Remember "bona feedees"? Yesterday at PMQs he was banging on about the need for "surveyance". As Cyril Fletcher used to say, I will pin back my lugholes for more examples.

And isn't about time that only opposition MPs were allowed to ask the questions at PMQs? It would save us the embarrassment of watching Labour MPs asking sycophantic non-questions that often even they cringe when asking.
