This clip makes it look like John Bercow is singing a scale of “Jeremy Corbyn”
The Speaker of the House of Commons has an almost impossible job – keeping the MPs from yelling over each over – he’s a kind of glorified nursery teacher, but with less glitter and more death threats. Someone has spliced a few clips of him calling for Jeremy Corbyn to speak, and it seems as though he’s getting closer and closer to hitting the next octave. It’s not really a scale, but the next best thing.

That rising note usually signals a drop in patience, which is evident when you hear Daleks, or parents in the park scolding their naughty offspring in a voice that only dogs and bats can hear.
Ironically, it’s gone down very well.
I think this is my favourite tweet of all time. https://t.co/Dm4qLR0xzv

The funniest and barmiest thing I've seen in years. I'm having this as my ringtone

If you, too, want it as a ringtone, you can get it here. Who even rings people these days?
Of course, what can be spliced together one way can be reversed, making it seem as though John Bercow has just stopped caring.

We know how he feels.
