Here we take a look at the Speaker's powers: What is the role of the Speaker of the House of Commons?The familiar shout of "Order, order!" explains part of the Speaker's job in Parliament. They are in charge of keeping order during debates, and calling different MPs to take their turns speaking on various issues.

Doc … [Read more...] about The 86-year-old tattoo artist who’s still inking people today
