A net gain for tennis nut John

SPEAKER John Bercow ostentatiously nodded his approval when Sarah Clarke’s appointment as the first-ever female Black Rod was announced in the Commons. Why was he so pleased at her appointment as top official in the Lords? Dog notes that Ms Clarke currently runs the Wimbledon championships, which tennis-nut Bercow loves to attend – on tickets donated by Ms Clarke’s All England Club. A match made in heaven.
