The best reactions to Sajid Javid Vs. John Bercow
Business secretary Sajid Javid was earlier schooled by Speaker of the House John Bercow.
The remarks by Bercow came after a speech in which Javid was responding to a question from a Labour MP on the steel industry, following the announcement by Tata Steel that they were going to be cutting 1,200 jobs at its plants in Scunthorpe and Lanarkshire.

While Bercow said "on a one-to-one basis I always think [Javid is] a very civil fellow", Javid probably didn't take too kindly to the whole charade.
But that isn't how the UK felt about it. Here's the best reactions to Javid's telling off.

Here's me thinking that John Bercow had given Sajid Javid a right old slapping. I see it's only metaphorical. Unfortunately.

If Wladimir Klitschko went to town on Mary Berry, it wouldn't be as brutal a slapdown as John Bercow gave Sajid Javid this afternoon.

This is why I love John Bercow and why the Tories hate him
Beautifully done
Nice slap down to the odious Sajid Javid.— Eilís Breathnach (@bberrybeth365) October 20, 2015
That will probably be a lesson to any other ministers who might be tempted to overrun on their allocated time…
