Will it soon be bye bye Gorbals Mick?

The Mail report that

"Speaker Michael Martin is facing an unprecedented cross-party bid to unseat him.

Senior MPs are planning to send a 'men in grey suits' delegation to demand that he step down as early as next week over his handling of the expenses scandal.

If he refuses, prominent MPs from all three major parties are ready to force him out by calling for a 'no confidence' debate.

The extraordinary spectacle of political opponents joining forces on the floor of the Commons would make it impossible for him to continue. "

Meanwhile on the BBC no update to their page on the possible no confidence vote on The Speaker since Wednesday; it's always good to see the BBC licence fee being used for news reporting... or is there another reason why the BBC is so tardy?
