looking at the numbers come us are lindsay hoyle is ahead on 21m, us are lindsay hoyle is ahead on 244second hundred 22, chris brian i don't hundred and 20. just depends on the votes in the last round are redistributed for some harriet harman dropped out. her votes went down and the last round. she will be disappointed by that. there are some mps who are a big concern and think that lindsay hoyle will get it and think he is a safe pair hands but they also feared that maybe he will be too controlled by the establishment if you like, that the establishment if you like, that the government thinks that maybe he will not be an interventionist or as outspoken asjohn burke howe, who as we know during this break the process has really pushed the rules and bent the rules some will say but he would say he just allowing mps to question the government to make sure that they hold the executive to account. we will see what happens in the next hour. i know you are keeping a close eye on things for us. keeping a close eye on things for us. we will get back to you as soon as you have more to tell us fo

with the deputy speaker lindsay hoyle leading the way... with 127 votes. let's speak now to tom peck — political sketchwriter for the independent newspaper — who joins us in westminster. when you look at these two runners getting to the final battle, who do you fancy and what would they bring to the chair? lindsey hoyle is miles ahead, they have going to have another vote in half an hour, maybe another vote in half an hour, maybe a bit less and he only needs about 20 more of the i think 130 is going spare to get over the line and chris brian needs all of the spare ones so lindsay hoyle is heavily fancied. what they would bring to the chair is difficult, if you want to talk about the difference between the two thatis about the difference between the two that is one thing but the key thing is both of them will be a significant break from what is before and that is the main thing. there is not really much to choose between these two compared tojohn burkle essentially but that is what it's when the most interesting factor of the whole day. —— j

hoyle.has been deputy speaker was some time working withjohn bercow. many argue he was not a surprise. not when it comes to the choice. voted in by all the mps and drag to his position. we are looking at the ta blet position. we are looking at the tablet now. it is interesting, the reason why the speaker is straight, it is an old tradition, because the speaker would communicate the opinion of the comments to the monarch. there was a chance of early death if the monarch disagreed with the message. and apparently many, many, the message. and apparently many, any the message. and apparently many, many, many years ago, some speakers we re many, many years ago, some speakers were beheaded. so there you go. so you drag them to the chair, you have to encourage them to take the chair. i don't think that is a risk for sir lindsay hoyle. but tell us about him. we know he is an experienced speaker. he has been the devontae for a long time. he is a northerner. we have had a number of speakers in recent

lindsay hoyle is close. but not close enough.there eventually obviously and i think the question now is whether mps come a lot of home actually want to get away tonight because they want to get back to their constituencies and campaignfor back to their constituencies and campaign for the election, whether they start shifting their votes may be away from their first or second choice to somebody who they know might well win. but i think most people do feel lindsay hoyle is still the favourite to get this. labourmp still the favourite to get this. labour mp deputy speaker for many yea rs, labour mp deputy speaker for many years, and in a speech talked a lot about his experience standing in for john burke out and making it clear he was going to do it differently, saying this is like a football match what‘s up —— john saying this is like a football match what‘s up ——john burke saying this is like a football match what‘s up —— john burke out. people don‘t want to remember who the referee is, they want to game to flow and that is what h
