'Interventionist' speaker of Britain’s parliament cast Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit strategy into chaos
"Interventionist" speaker centre-stage in parliament's Brexit dramaLONDON - With a wordy speech invoking a 17th-century precedent, and a cold stare aimed at stunned ministers, the grandiose Speaker of Britain’s parliament cast Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit strategy into chaos.
As the government’s solicitor-general, Robert Buckland, noted wrily after Monday’s ruling: “This speaker has made his name for being interventionist and innovative in many ways.” Monday’s ruling was just one in a line of recent decisions that infuriated ministers and delighted those who want to increase parliament’s role in scrutinising the process of leaving the EU.
“I say to very senior members who, from a sedentary position, are chuntering really very inanely: Do try to grow up!” he declaimed during one typically rowdy debate on Brexit.
