When you see her in her office, with a picture of herself on the wall, you can easily tell what sort of a person she is without knowing anything about her.
Margaret Beckett is one of those people who can wind me up as soon as I see her. She has an attitude that states 'I know better than you do.' I cannot think of one reason why she could become Speaker. She was first elected to parliament in 1974, lost her seat in 1979 and then returned in 1983. She has undertaken many government roles. When Brown fired her as Foreign Secretary, I thought this would mean I wouldn't have to see her very often on my TV. But up she popped again, this time in the lowly role of Housing Minister. Brown then fired her again last week. She has finally gone, I thought. No, wrong again. Now she wants to become Speaker. Is there anything this woman will not do to get herself in the news? She will not become Speaker, and then hopefully she will decide the next general election is the time she is finally going to go, although I am not banking on it.
Below is a clip with her explaining her reasons for wanting to become Speaker. Try not to hurl objects at your computer screen. Anything to do with Margaret Beckett should come with a government health warning.

Is she any worse than the last one?
No, is the answer, James, however, we need someone much better.
