PG,

Come on Pete, that is trying to make a oountain out of a molehill.

Joyce said:

1. welcome back – and was castigated by Lockwood because you must not refer to members’ absences in the House.
2. [paraphrased] I do stand by all my recent statements, especially the one last week where I said having a shave meant ‘look out’

Neither of those amount to some grave threat to the reputation of the House, or conducting business within it. It is one thing to decry petulance, tantrum throwing and disrespectful behaviour (of which there have been recent examples), but those hardly constitute anything to complain about.

Lockwood Smith saw something to complain about. And warn about. And lecture about. It’s a part of a general shit fight mentality the pervades the house and seems to be deteriorating. Senior Ministers should be bigger than that.
