How do feel about having a repulsive toad as your elected representative?
Phillip Davies attempted to filibuster a members bill on Violence against women by talking for 78 minutes.
You will hopefully be pleased to hear he failed.

Why did he stop at 78 minutes - was it hesitation, repetition or deviation? I'm going for deviation, he looks the type.

Unfortunately, this is his usual approach to private members bills.

He stopped at 78 minutes as another member had a turn to speak, who cut short their contributions to allow time for the vote
