The Speaker has shown, yet again that he is not fit to hold the office.
MPs need to sign the early day motion and get rid of him, asap!

Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso plan to set up a confederation. They are considering creating a stabilisation fund, a bank and a committee to study the economic and monetary union.
It would be the only confederation in the world.
