The son of an old, indulgent Whig father, Fox rose to prominence in the House of Commons as a forceful and eloquent speaker with a notorious and colourful private life, though his opinions were rather conservative and conventional. However, with the coming of the American Revolution and the influence of the Whig Edmund Burke, Fox's opinions evolved into some of the most radical ever to be aired in the Parliament of his era. He came from a family with radical and revolutionary tendencies and his first cousin and friend Lord Edward Fitzgerald was a prominent member of the Society of United Irishmen who was arrested just prior to the Irish Rebellion of 1798 and died of wounds received as he was arrested.

The House Of Commons Catfight ! ( Theresa May will Win )
Rebel With A Clue: The Big Fight ! To the Commons, then, to see the great catfight. Harriet Harman, the Leader of the House, was defending herself against allegations of political sleaze. Her tormentor was Theresa May. I arrived to find both dressed to duel. Harriet had chosen white, the colour of innocence. Theresa was in leather and leopardskin. This was not good cop, bad cop so much as good girl, bad girl. Yes, in politics these days, sisters are doing it for themselves, though not, perhaps, as the suffragettes would have foreseen it. These two really are opposites who do not attract. Theresa may be famous for wearing silly shoes but she can be sharp with the stiletto. Harriet would not be caught dead wielding a stiletto for, of course, they are bad for your posture. I was hoping that the fur would fly except Harriet, I'm sure, hates fur. Theresa attacked first with all the restraint of the Psycho shower scene. She accused Harriet of being "engulfed" in a sleaze scandal. Theresa demanded that the House's weekly topical debate should be on party funding sleaze. When told, by the Speaker, to behave herself she was magnificently deceitful. Sleaze. Sleaze. Sleaze. How Theresa loved that word. For her, and all Tories, it rhymes with Schadenfreude. You could hear the joy in her voice as she used it once again, just for fun. Harriet looked at her notes, occasionally scribbling something. (I would like to think it was: "What a cow!" but I don't think that Harriet would approve <b>...</b>

Harper reads part of Jacques Parizeau comment on the coalition. Jacques Parizeau - In the 1989 election, Parizeau's first as PQ leader, his party did not fare well. But five years later, in the 1994 election, they won a majority government. Parizeau promised to hold a referendum on Quebec sovereignty within a year of his election,and despite many objections, he followed through on this promise. In the beginning, support for sovereignty was only about 40% in the public opinion polls. As the campaign wore on, however, support for the "Yes" side grew larger. This growth halted, however, and Parizeau came under pressure to hand more of the campaign over to the more moderate and conservative Lucien Bouchard, the popular leader of the federal Bloc Québécois party. Parizeau agreed, and as the campaign progressed, lost his leadership role to Bouchard. During the 1995 referendum he caused an uproar when it was reported by columnist Chantal Hébert in the La Presse newspaper that despite the guarantee of an offer of partnership with the rest of Canada before declaring sovereignty following a "Yes" vote, Parizeau had told a group of foreign diplomats that what mattered most was to get a majority vote from Quebec citizens for the proposal to secede from Canada because with that, Quebecers would be trapped "lobsters thrown into boiling water".

Mr James Gray (North Wiltshire) (Conservative): While I broadly support the use of electronic devices for urgent messages and the like, I divided the Procedure Committee on the matter and voted against the report, simply because I took the view that if we were all to be sitting here tweeting, checking our e-mails and reading newspapers on screens, we would not be paying proper attention to the debates we were sent here to engage in. I therefore ask the Deputy Leader of the House whether he is ready to respond to the Committee's report, and let me add that I hope his response will be more considered than the report's conclusions. The Parliamentary Secretary, Office of the Leader of the House of Commons (Mr David Heath): I do think this is a House matter, and a matter for you, Mr Speaker—and you have given an indication of your own thoughts on it. I understand that the Chair of the Committee has asked the Backbench Business Committee for time to discuss the report, and I think it is appropriate that the House has a debate on the issue, takes on board the contrary views on either side of the argument, and then comes to a decision. ================================================================================= For more information about James Gray MP's work in Westminster and Wiltshire, please visit www.jamesgray.org ( www.jamesgray.org )

British Jewish Zionist MP Gerald Kaufman, in a speech given to the House of Commons, and after qualifying his Jewish Zionist credentials, equates the actions and rhetoric of the Israeli state and its State actors with the actions and rhetoric of the Nazis. Full transcript of Gerald Kaufman's speech: Sir Gerald Kaufman (Manchester, Gorton) (Lab): I was brought up as an orthodox Jew and a Zionist. On a shelf in our kitchen, there was a tin box for the Jewish National Fund, into which we put coins to help the pioneers building a Jewish presence in Palestine. I first went to Israel in 1961 and I have been there since more times than I can count. I had family in Israel and have friends in Israel. One of them fought in the wars of 1956, 1967 and 1973 and was wounded in two of them. The tie clip that I am wearing is made from a campaign decoration awarded to him, which he presented to me. I have known most of the Prime Ministers of Israel, starting with the founding Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion.

Mr James Gray (North Wiltshire) (Conservative): If, as some people are proposing and as the Select Committee on Procedure is currently considering, private Members' business was moved from Friday to some other point in the parliamentary week, there would be an even greater risk of Thursday becoming downgraded. In the nicest possible way, may I remind my right hon. Friend the Leader of the House that during his thankfully unsuccessful bid for your seat, Mr Speaker, he himself brought forward the notion of moving Prime Minister's questions to a Thursday? The Leader of the House of Commons (Sir George Young): I am grateful to my hon. Friend. It is indeed the case that when I was on the Back Benches I could do some blue-sky thinking but my horizons are now more constrained. I say to him that the Prime Minister is more than satisfied with the current arrangements for Prime Minister's questions. ================================================================================= For more information about James Gray MP's work in Westminster and Wiltshire, please visit www.jamesgray.org ( www.jamesgray.org )

Part 1/9 From the BBC: Polite applause after every speech? A complete absence of party political point-scoring? No juvenile barracking and name-calling? Any hungover journalists stumbling into the Commons press gallery earlier will have felt even more disorientated than normal. Not only were the famous green benches packed - the chamber is normally deserted on a Friday - but they were packed with Young People. That's right, Young People. More than one of whom was wearing a T-shirt. In place of the normal Friday torpor, there was excited chatter. In place of the ranks of paunchy, white middle-aged men, there was an appealing mix of sexes and races - and a far higher standard of haircut. For the first time in its history, the hallowed Commons chamber had thrown open its doors to non-MPs - 300 members of the Youth Parliament from schools and colleges across the UK to be precise - and they were clearly having a whale of a time. The atmosphere beforehand, as the 11 to 18-year-olds gathered in the 800-year-old Westminster Hall was like a cross between a school trip and an X Factor audition.

The Leader of the House of Commons is a member of the Cabinet of the United Kingdom who is responsible for arranging government business in the House of Commons. Although at one time the position was usually held by the Prime Minister, in recent years, the post has usually been combined with that of Lord President of the Council (i.e., of the Privy Council); from 2003 it has been combined instead with the office of Lord Privy Seal.
The House of Commons devotes approximately three quarters of its time to Government business, such as bills introduced by the government and ministerial statements. The Leader of the House, with the parties' chief whips ("the usual channels"), is responsible for organising the government business and providing time for non-government business to be put before the House, and announces the next week's schedule in the Business Statement each Thursday.
When there is no Deputy Prime Minister, or the Deputy Prime Minister is unavailable, the Leader of the House may stand in for an absent Prime Minister at Prime Minister's Questions.
Jointly administered by the Office of the Leader of the House of Commons and the Cabinet Office are the Osmotherly Rules, which set out guidance on how civil servants should respond to Parliamentary select committees.
Leaders of the House of Commons since 1721
At times the nominal leadership was held by the Prime Minister but the day to day work was done by a Deputy. At other times a Deputy was appointed merely to enhance an individual politician's standing within the government.
