Anne Widdecombe takes my advice?

I think I was the first person to suggest Anne Widdecombe for Speaker (see on this blog) so I’m glad to see she’s taken the hint. (Although I doubt I really had anything to do with it).

Her idea of an interim Speaker pending the election of a “post-expenses row” House of Commons also makes a lot of sense.
