about bombing Daesh in Syria.

"Finally, Mr Speaker, I applaud the fact that you have spent the entirety of this debate in the Chair. I also admire your bladder."

having attended several parliamentary select committee sittings I think that all politicians have extra large bladder transplants when they get elected because they really don't like to stop once they get going

The MPs and Ministers often leave then return if they are needed or leave after they speaker. The Speaker has a couple of deputies but wo this time he sat through it all. If not a nappy on, clearly he must drained it some how.

Mr Speaker wears full court dress, which includes knee-breeches.
