Why can’t they get rid of Bercow ?

They are, he is supposedly leaving in the summer. 

He'd probably be 500th on the list for me...

Looks kind of suave and dresses well.

Another proud moment, a man working in a kitchen dies because he has nowhere to sleep

TBF. You can read enough in this story to know that wiithout the whole backstory we cant learn much from stories like this.

I don’t care whether Corbin said ‘ woman ‘ or ‘ person ‘

I do care if he said ‘ woman ‘ but says he said ‘ person ‘

This is indeed the key point.

He has history for refutable lying, too. Not enough seats on Virgin trains, anyone?

Never realised he was only 5 foot 6! I have never seen him get down from his throne. I just spent 10 minutes watching a few best of youtube compilations, he definitely has "presence" that belies his height.

Ha, spotted that too, down to 400th in the list. 

Now searching John Bercow best of compilations.

My lack of confidence in our preparedness for a no-deal Brexit, and border control chaos in particular, isn't being improved by the fact that a few people flying drones can incapacitate a major airport for this length of time.

No Deal no longer “unlikely” - Government

Government has in past 24 hours quietly edited every No Deal technical notice to take out word “unlikely” from the sentence “in the unlikely event of no deal...”

Now says “in the event of no deal”.

Boles, Letwin, Morgan join with Yvette Cooper to table a cross party amendment to Finance Bill which would stop No Deal finance provisions unless No Deal explicitly approved by Commons or A50 extended.

Due for Commons discussion before meaningful vote debate in January...

Had my annual review with consultant neurologist yesterday. He said don't worry about not getting your infusions because of any Brexit havoc. This stuff is so expensive they'd fly it in via private jet if they had to

Armeggedon- According to the Book of Revelation in the New Testament  Armageddon is the prophesied location for the gathering of armies for battle in the end times. It’s the end of the world.

Seems likely

This is typical scaremongering.

As someone that pops 20 odd post transplant pills, many of which are manufactured abroad, I have spent time with each of my suppliers who confirm this effectively means very little. I know my medication, it doesnt need to pass any additional checks, business as usual(maybe more expensive, if tariffs are imposed-doesnt affect me directly), even if we hit worse case scenario.
