Nigel Farage said Reform UK are the “new kids on the block” in the House of Commons as he used his first speech to criticise the former speaker John Bercow.

The Reform leader said: “We can’t judge you from working in this place but we can judge you from the way the outside world sees you.

“I don’t just mean the United Kingdom, I mean the world, because Prime Minister’s Questions time is global box office politics and it is pretty clear to everybody that you [Sir Lindsay Hoyle] act with great neutrality, that you have brought tremendous dignity to the role as Speaker so we absolutely endorse you entirely for this job.

“And it is, I must say, in marked contrast to the little man that was there before you and besmirched the office so dreadfully in doing his best to overturn the biggest democratic result in the history of the country.”

    Also subtly pointing out the fact that the entire labour front bench also wanted what the little man did

    Farage is amazing. It restores the old British humor and at the same time the oratory of a root politician. 👏👏👏🇬🇧
  • @J2897Tutorials
    He's right, and each Reform MP represents ~800,000 voters.
  • @duckndive.
    And so it begins Straight talking, calling out, and truth telling. Long may it continue.
  • @jeandevalette8860
    He's right, as EVER. And he will be PM in under 5 years, so WATCH OUT.
  • @HunkumSpunkum
    Farage will give them all a run for their money-fantastic debut.......Join Reform!
  • @BreadWinner330
    As a Labour voter Farage is right, at least Hoyle shows neutrality in the house and doesn't bully his staff. Bercow is a 3rd rate politician swept to oblivion where he belongs.
  • @AliceBowie
    I'm not British, but regardless of his politics, Farange is funny. He's old school, I assume his hobbies are politely insulting people, drinking, and crashing airplanes.
  • @MikeCornwall
    Those in the commons, as well as those in the comment section who don’t understand how absurd a speaker (or any MP) attempting to undermine the democratic will of the people is need to, respectfully, shut up.
  • @unlikeable8619
    Well Bercow clearly wasn't impartial...the primary role as the speaker.
  • @tonyryan6435
    They cant touch nigel because he does NOT lie

    The percentage of speaking time for each party should be allocated in respect of their vote share percentage. As a result Reform should have more speaking time than the Liberal Democrats because they represent more voters (14% vs 12%).
