Summarization
Lindsay Hoyle has been criticized for saying Keir Starmer needs a sprinkle of Tony Blair magic, but some say he was right in pointing out that Starmer is dull. MPs and Sir David Attenborough were thanked for raising the profile of polar science and there was discussion about politicians potentially lying in the House of Commons. Additionally, it was brought up that some think personality politics haven't done so well in the past decade and that dull but honest and responsible leadership is more desired. Finally, the speaker was accused of making comments to undermine Starmer.

1626958236250255361 | Sorry didn’t @BorisJohnson say it was an “oven ready” deal so perhaps he also lied to the HOC about that @CommonsSpeaker I’m sure it’s on record him saying it was oven ready to the House. It’s about time people were pulled up for lies that damage the country. https://t.co/wjHi1cvL8J | 31 |

1627259481435373569 | You - @RishiSunak @Conservatives @SirGrahamBrady @CommonsSpeaker - should all be deeply, heartily ashamed that you have platformed & promoted a voice as hateful as Lee Anderson's.

He is far more interesting than you @toryboypierce @CommonsSpeaker should not be opining abroad about UK politics, his role is impartial. Explains why he is useless in HOC | 8 |
