One MP lost his balance – so why get a re-assertion of religious tolerance from the rest of us?

Oh dear, was this really necessary?

Alf refers to a bit of pottiness from the Green party, which has asked Parliament to re-assert its position on religious tolerance.

It seems to have happened while your long-serving MP was preoccupied on the back benches with checking his email.

He has a great gift for switching off, when anyone in Green stripes gets to their feet.

And his bench-mate has just nudged him to say the motion was passed unanimously.
