Poll: Speaker Martin Retires, Effective From Which Date or Event?
Immediately I heard the news that Speaker Martin is to "resign this afternoon" - I think that'll be a "retirement" actually - I assumed that was an announcement of intent - along the lines that Sir Stuart Bell and others were urging for yesterday - and wondered what the effective date would be. Iain Dale appeared to believe in an instant exit, only now adding a rueful footnote stating the bleeding obvious.
When do you think Martin will actually go? Not when he should, when he actually will do so:
You can even copy and paste this code into your site (must remember how to stick it in a little window):

i seet hat Goggins has been caught with his snout in the trough.just shows never trust a methodist.
as he's property flipper he should resign.what a shame that a decent labour MP like Ian Stewart will be lost to the next Parliament, whilst a deep trougher like goggins will stand again.
Is this spam? Oh do fuck off you irrelevant little shit. Don't make me find you. FUCK RIGHT OFF.
Soz Chris. Word up dawg.
Whooops - bit drunk and spaced out. Thought you'd been hit by the same thing that's hit Dizzy recently. All bets are off.
It's official Dale's article in the Daily MAil libelled Tom Watson - cannot say that he wasn't warned about his behaviour. I presume Cameron will remove him from the Tory candidates list???
Yes, and Iain already has more snouts than troughs ... no sorry I mean more troughs than snouts.
