Bercow called for order again. “I hope the House will show some self-restraint and courtesy for Mr. Tim Farron.”
“Thank you, Mr Speaker.” There was a way about Tim Farron that unsettled David. His 2011 conference speech attacked the Tories and the Coalition and his 2012 speech was a bit better since he decided to focus on Labour. But yet in in David’s view, Farron’s pugnacious intent was obvious; he wanted to distance and set himself up for Nick’s position as party leader. “Would my right honourable friend please explain more about this urgent personal business that he and and my friend, the Deputy Prime Minister, had to discuss at 2:47 AM?”
David rose once more and placed both hands on the despatch box as he answered, "As I stated before to the honourable member for Rhondda, the meeting was with me in Downing street. It was personal and private business."
Bercow reminded the Commons again about the need for brevity and then he called Michael Fabricant. Fabricant’s blond mop of hair tumbled across his face. He wobbled and his voiced slurred. Probably was socializing at Strangers before coming to the House.“Whilst I agree with my friend, the honourable member for Wellingborough, that it is admirable for the Prime Minister to stand by our beleaguered colleague, shouldn’t the Prime Minister continue his support with caution? I only ask since the former member for Eastleigh and the member for Portsmouth South were later revealed to have been keeping their own legal secrets that were later exposed to great embarrassment. Perhaps if the Prime Minister were to give more details about this secretive meeting it would put the House at ease.”
David was fidgeting at this point, his knee bobbing up and down as he messed with the pen that he was holding in one hand. He should have expected the Spanish inquisition, really he should have, but he supposed the saying was no one does so he was maybe not the worst off. But it was frustrating how he was being treated like a criminal himself for trying to stick up for his deputy. And it could possibly be dangerous as well. Clearing his throat, David stood again and responded, "I appreciate the question, but I have already answered this. This is personal and private business between myself and the Deputy Prime Minister, with no links to the current allegations."
