The Conservative backbencher Douglas Carswell has told the BBC that he put forward the motion of no confidence in Michael Martin because he believes that the reputation of the House of Commons has "never been lower".

Speaker Michael Martin has been criticised over his handling of the furore over MPs' expenses.

A motion of no confidence in him has been backed by 23 MPs.

  • he should be kicked out he spent 4k on his wife taxi's fro her shopping trips and billed the taxpayer. he is a scumbag like all the rest. what ppl dont realise is he will go to the house of lords now sit there earning 96k a year doing fuckall its a fucking joke time for the pblic to step the preassure get all these fooking scumbag mp's sacked !00%

  • Party ties are the real problem in politics. If enough people develope some testicular fortitude at the next election and vote for an indipendant Mps might start to represent the people rather than the party interest.

  • Hes definately a scapegoat!

    However, if this mess flushes out all the really fraudulent MPs (from all parties) before the next election ... then perhaps we'll still have some hope for the main parties.

    BLIMEY! I never thought I'd ever say his but, this whole sordid mess has made the Green Party MPs look good!!

  • vote BNP its the only way .
