The fact that there are serial bullies and liars in the House of Commons surprises nobody. That only one of them has been banned from parliament simply serves to show how degraded our national politics has become, especially having a serially lying prime minister as final arbiter over the ministerial code (John Bercow found to be ‘serial bully’ and liar by independent inquiry, 8 March).
