So, it's down to a two-horse race between Sir George Young and John Bercow. After Alan Williams' plea for other candidates to drop out, thankfully we will not have to wait until midnight before we know who the next Speaker will be.
I had hoped MPs would for once vote with their consciences and try and choose the best person for the job. Sir George Young will be a steadying influence and if he is true to his speech earlier this afternoon, he will reform our chamber.
John Bercow - quite frankly - is too cocky. He has not got the support of his honourable 'friends' and he will not unify the House. I hope and pray he is not elected Speaker.
