Revenge ... 'Little People' will speak up at polls

THE QUEEN, the Prime Minister and the Speaker of the House of Commons are, in that order, the three most powerful people in Britain.
That historical fact places in context the degree to which thuggish Michael Martin has trashed this proud and noble office.

Brave Speakers have in the past paid with their lives for defending our elected representatives against bullying by the Crown.




Martin will be the first in history to be kicked out for bullying MPs and bringing the Mother of Parliaments into disrepute.

“Gorbals Mick” long ago lost all credibility as an impartial upholder of his high office.

Now his departure is essential to clear the noxious air at Westminster.



Under fire ... Michael Martin

It will also mark the end of a period of political corruption that began with Labour’s landslide majority.

Labour used its elective dictatorship to shoehorn Mr Martin — a tribal Labour MP and Gordon Brown’s close ally — into the key role as Commons referee.

In return, Mr Martin umpired Westminster politics with all the even-handed neutrality of Champions League semi-final ref Tom Henning Ovrebo.

It is thanks to him that MPs’ perks were allowed to fester into a poisonous bombshell of greed and embezzlement.

Leaving him in place to collect a £100,000 pay-off and hand his Glasgow seat to his son like some hereditary robber baron would be the final insult.

Mr Brown knows this and hates it. The Scottish mafia gives and demands total loyalty — yet he must cut his political blood brother adrift or go down with him.

It is all the harder after the departure of henchman Damian “Mad Dog” McBride for sending poison emails — and the exposure of so many others whose usefulness has been neutralised by the public spotlight.

Arrogant
Mr Brown’s trusted inner circle is fast diminishing.

All parties are publicly shamed by the unscrupulous and blatantly illegal fiddles of their MPs.

It was wondrous to behold the expressions on MPs’ faces morphing from arrogant denial to abject fear as the Plod began to make inquiries.

Some will be lucky to avoid jail — let alone stay on as Members of Parliament.

But it is Labour — and Gordon Brown personally — who are most seriously damaged.

The threat comes not from the media but from those “hard-working families” politicians love to patronise and who are now so outraged.

They are the mums and dads who must shop around to save pennies to keep a roof over their heads while MPs claim for mortgages they don’t have and then wave a cheque for sums beyond the dreams of most voters.

Tory and Lib Dem MPs were just as contemptuous of the law on fraud as Labour.




But Labour is in government. Labour is the self-proclaimed party of fairness. Labour was supposed to help the little people.

And now, betrayed and angry, the “little people” intend to wreak revenge at next month’s mid-term elections.

Labour could lose control of three county councils and will be lucky to beat UKIP into fourth place on Europe.

Worryingly, the sub-Nazi BNP will also gain from protest votes.

Nor will Tories escape lightly after evidence of eye-boggling greed and contempt.

But David Cameron, who has won applause for a swift response, has some important cards to play.

He promises to axe many of the perks, slash the number of MPs and make all pay and pension rulings fully transparent.

But he must not stop there.

The gravy train is out of control across all tiers of government — national, local and European.

Town halls waste millions. The public sector is crying out for reform.

Pointless pseudo-government quangos mop up £70BILLION a year and employ 50,000 people hand-picked by the party in power.

Brussels is up to its neck in corruption.

Politics is in crisis — and every crisis presents an opportunity.

This is the Tories’ chance to do Britain a service.

And clean out the sewer running not just through Westminster but through every nook and cranny where taxpayers’ hard-earned money is being so scandalously squandered.



SINCE Michael Martin has to go, who should we put in his place?

There is only one answer – Birkenhead MP Frank Field.

Field is literally the frank and fearless voice of non-partisan politics.

He has spent his life fighting for his constituents, rather than for Labour voters alone – and for the deserving poor rather than the feckless.

He believes crime must not pay and taxpayers should get value for their money.

Field speaks for Sun readers.

He is a natural for the Speaker’s Chair.
