Commons speaker says threats and abuse against MPs worst he has seen
Briefly

The levels of abuse are acute...intimidation and threats and the way it's carried out, is much greater than anybody can imagine...People must be allowed to vote without intimidation. Democracy matters to me.
It would be good for the public to have a nicer parliament...we treat each other is usually reflected by the public out there. So it is about the public respecting MPs who put themselves forward but we have to respect each other as well.
He wanted the new administration to live up to its assurances...major announcements would be made to parliament. That's what I want and that's what I expect. If not, we'll have a fallout
Hoyle pledged to allow smaller parties...to be heard in parliament...he could be open to Labour's plan to modernise Commons procedures. Modernisation is good, it's about keeping tradition, but moving into a modern way of delivering.
