House of Commons: Six packs, ugly politicians and other jokes

Conservative MP Simon Burns joked about "dastardly rumours" that he and Speaker John Bercow did not get on, in a laughter-filled speech to the Commons.

"Mr Speaker, I think it is time we buried the hatchet... preferably not in my back," he said.

Meanwhile in her speech, South East Cornwall MP Sheryll Murray joked that the prime minister now boasted a six pack - six Tory seats in the Duchy.
