Motion of no confidence in the speaker

So the motion in no confidence in Michael Martin is going to be tabled.

Tory MP Douglas Carswell is to table the motion next week.

He has alreday collected names from across all three parties and thinks that he will get a lot more after MP's return to their constituencies over the weekend and gauge the public mood.

He told BBC News that

"We need a new speaker with a mandate for radical change to make politicians work for the people,"I'm not having a dig at Michael Martin because he is anything other than a decent, honest, honourable man.
"I just happen to think he is bad at doing the job of Speaker."
