Today the 156th Speaker of the House of Commons will seek to explain to MPs and to the nation what precisely he thought he was doing when he agreed that the Metropolitan Police’s anti-terrorist squad should raid the office of Damian Green.
Whatever he says had better be good. He is the man charged with upholding the historic dignity and freedom of Parliament, yet he has permitted Britain’s police to behave in a manner which would have won the applause of Vladimir Putin.
The official directly responsible for authorising the invasion of a frontbench Tory MP’s office was the Serjeant at Arms, a factory-built civil servant named Jill Pay, elevated to her post when the Speaker sacked the previous incumbent, a retired and excessively decent major-general whose face he decided that he disliked.

Yesterday, on British television, the former mayor of London Ken Livingston tried to defend the indefensible by comparing the situation to fatuous others. A clear example why Labour is evil, corrupt and sick.
