Nicolson defends his actions surrounding his row with the Speaker

Speaking in a debate on privilege, put forward by Conservative MP David Davis, the SNP MP John Nicolson defended his conduct regarding his ongoing row with the Speaker Lindsay Hoyle.

Davis claimed the actions of John Nicolson, who shared the Commons Speaker’s correspondence on Twitter, constitutes a “clear breach” of parliamentary rules.

The correspondence related to the Speaker’s decision on referring Conservative former culture secretary Nadine Dorries to the Privileges Committee.

After a bite in the commons on Tuesday, Nicolson has now been referred to that same committee.
