Closed petition Let the speaker speak! A motion of the House in support of the Speaker.

Closed on

On the 06th February the Speaker of the House of Commons spoke up to voice the views of many that President Trump not be allowed to address the House. Now he faces a no confidence motion.This petition seeks support for the debate of a counter motion of support for his position.Don't gag the Speaker!

James Duddridge MP has sought to attack the Speaker. Over 1 million people signed a petition objecting to Trump's State visit and furthermore there is disquiet across the House regarding it. The Speaker must maintain order and preserve the dignity of the House. He was accordingly obliged to intervene when the Prime Minister elected to offer a State visit to such a divisive figure who sows discord and disorder.Let the Speaker Speak.
