I don't know why so many MPs object to Stella Creasy having her baby with her in the House of Commons.

Baby Creasy would undoubtedly behave far better and cause far less disruption to the proceedings than most of the other occupants of The House, whose loutish behaviour has gone from bad to worse in recent years.

Watching our elected representatives ‘debating’ in the Commons is like watching a bunch of ill-mannered, ill-educated children goading each other yelling “Yah! Boo!”

Perhaps it is precisely because they know that allowing babies in The House would expose their own shortcomings that they don’t want them there.
