Speaker faces no confidence call
 The Speaker's supporters say he has long been the victim of snobbery. |
A no confidence motion in House of Commons Speaker Michael Martin is to be tabled by a Conservative backbencher.
MP Douglas Carswell is to make the move following a furore over Mr Martin's handling of leaks of MPs' expenses.
Some MPs felt he was more concerned with attacking those who criticised him than responding to public anger.
Labour MP Gordon Prentice argued that the speaker was now "too compromised" by recent events and so should stand down immediately.
