Wowow! My accounting teacher! The best accounts teacher! Congrats!
And the plotvthickens!
Well done Mr. Frederick! Happy for you. Time tonight your wrongs.
Mr Talk as yoi like, go and take a rest now. No more being angry when the house doesn’t break for lunch and you’re hungry. You can eat as you like, when you like.
The house will now be ruled by a fingernail.
Congratulations, Mr. Frederick.
This is a disgrace. A House Speaker must have some air of independence, credibility, and impartiality. Parties must stop making their functionaries and henchmen Speakers. Watts came without obvious affiliation but then showed his bias every day.
Osbert may be worse. Disgraceful.
