Does the Speaker sound like Stewie?
By Tony Grew - 3rd December 2010
Brooks Newmark confided to his Twitter followers recently that the Speaker sounds like a fictional baby.
The Tory MP for Braintree tweeted:
"When agitated, the Speaker really does sound like Stewie in Family Guy!"
He subsequently apologised after he sent this tweet from a committee session and Labour MPs complained.
"Listening to Gordon Banks + Nia Griffiths arguments against excellent Postal Services Bill is a bit like watching paint dry on a rainy day!"
Newmark said he regrets getting involved with Twitter and won't tweet again.
"I probably shouldn't have done it. It can be used by others in ways I didn't expect it to be used."
The curse of Twitter strikes again.
