Speaker Martin to Resign

Michael Martin is due to resign at 2:30 it says on all the news channels.

Pity I won't be able to see this historic moment live, I have an appointment, but I shall watch it later online.

UPDATE:

He announced he'll resign on the 21st of June. However, just to keep up the incompetence, he didn't announce whether he'll resign as an MP too, so no-one knows whether he's going to go completely, or whether he'll retire to the back benches seething with rage.

Past experience tells me he wants to hang on as MP until the next election.

I'm sure there are people as we speak trying to persuade him otherwise.
