This will bring great joy to the workers who face further pay cuts because the last lot of austerity measures did nothing to solve the economic problems caused by dodgy bankers.

On Bercow's coat of arms there is a ladder. Not because he is famously totie. The ladder is for pulling up behind him. The working class can kiss his posterior, he's got the Speaker's job at last.
