| All political careers end in failure |
And so today was the last day of the current Parliament and thereby the end of William Hague's legislative career. A man of obvious talent and one suspects underlying niceness he bowed out by trying to steer through the House a vindictive piece of procedural flummery whose aim would appear to have been to punish John Bercow for being, well, John Bercow. Now I'm all in favour of Bercow being penalised for being Bercow (and I should remind readers that yes I have met the man) but not by this clumsily chosen method.
Thus Hague's career ends rather fittingly on at best a misfortune, perhaps more accurately a misjudgement. Pity.
I have dream wherein Bercow and Alex Salmond are washed up on a desert island and in a sort of
Lord of the Flies/Titus Andronicus mash-up manage to exterminate each other.
