Mr Speaker at Northumbria University

John Bercow  the Speaker of the House of Commons was at Northumbria University this evening to give a lecture entitled Parliament Beyond Westminster, at which he
 outlined his plans to reunite Parliament with the public  and to modernise, revive and reform the chamber. During the course of the evening I   asked  him whether he followed his wife Sally's ' tweets'; he said he did not, but vigorously defended her democratic right to do so. Good for him.
