Gavin Robinson & Speaker have House of Commons laughing

Lindsay Hoyle's reference to Strangford MP Jim Shannon prompts a response from DUP Leader Gavin Robinson in his speech welcoming the re-election of Mr Hoyle as Speaker of the House of Commons.

[@davidcooney3100]

The funniest party was Gavin Robinson mentioning Londonderry, and one of the non unionist saying DERRY 🇮🇪

[@jamesthejoker7415]

That was Colum Eastwood, even as a Unionist I must say his wit and sharpness makes me laugh lmao

[@DA-og4px]

@@jamesthejoker7415 Was it said with bitterness or frustration or is it a wee joke between Robinson and Eastwood?

[@stephenowens354]

They criticise those who split the unionist vote ...its the D U P who split with the U U P and split the unionist vote

[@seaniek9175]

Gavin strikes me as a decent man. He's doing a good job in his new role as DUP leader and I say that as an Irish nationalist.

[@audspod1]

Thank you sir.

Doire, to give it its indigenous name, meaning oak grove, long before the planters arrived....

Gavin, Great speach today, after the Kings speech. Gavin Plant.

I do believe all you unionist party's should join together as one party get back in to power in Ulster different loyalist party's to vote for just splits the vote 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@timbo9200]

Im not a DUP fan but i am a Lynsey Hoyle fan. Though i thought this was a great speech by Gavin Robinson, so credit where its due.

Fair play.

[@martinmcdonald4207]

Brown nosing the Speaker from the very get go. As if any one takes him seriously!

[@KC-wi4gh]

Nobody cares. Everyone elected from Northern Ireland will be speaking to empty green benches from this point forward when the Speaker delegates time for questions on Northern Ireland.

[@mjw12345]

Pengelly, Swann, Robinson....Unionism is producing rather decent, respectful people! Unlike C&U Party - Kemi, Priti, Suella...really repulsive!

[@mikeryan7213]

That's a very narrow sample of Conservatives. Most are decent honourable people. There are, you know, pretty awful unionists too, like Sammy Wilson jim allistair, Ian paisley, Jeffrey Donaldson, the latter two no longer MPs.
