Lib Dem ordered out of EU debate
Lib Dem frontbencher Edward Davey has been ordered out of the Commons, after angry protests to the deputy speaker.
Mr Davey was annoyed at the Speaker's decision not to allow MPs to debate and vote on whether the UK should remain a member of the European Union. Deputy Speaker Michael Lord had already warned Mr Davey and fellow Lib Dems to respect the Speaker. Mr Davey repeatedly protested, saying he was being "gagged" and saying "it's a debate the British people want".
Shows the democracy we live in.
