WESTMINSTER WARS

■ SURPRISING that the mild-mannered Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle, a humble backbencher who never even held a ministerial job, overstepped his authority demanding the editor of The Mail on Sunday David Dillon present himself to explain Rayner-gate. Give a man a throne and a gavel and it goes to his head — just look at his pipsqueak predecessor John Bercow. ■ HERO of the week must be whoever filmed Keir Starmer having a beer with at least five people during lockdown, clearly breaking the rules and revealing him as a liar and hypocrite. Never again can Labour attack the Tories over Partygate. ■ WHILe refusing to cut the hated NI tax or help struggling families, Chancellor Rishi Sunak was walking his dog wearing £600 Prada trainers — costing more than the average full-time worker takes home a week. Little wonder he’s now so low in Conservative ratings — even his few remaining fans realise he’s stepped in the political dog mess.
