- description: Tory MP Eddie Hughes followed on from former minister Tracey Crouch's humble offering to the Queen. The relative newcomer Mr Hughes, MP for Walsall North, started things off by expressing his shock at how full the Commons is - he says he's used to addressing a near-empty room. He also made a cheeky request for favouritism - to much laughter - from the new Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle. "If you like what you hear, Mr Speaker, over the next few minutes I like to think you will call me early in debates, unlike your much-loved predecessor [ex-Speaker John Bercow]." He also makes plenty of early digs at the Labour Party, reminiscing greatly on the moment of joy he felt when the Conservatives took Blyth Valley from Labour on election night. The camera shows a decidedly glum opposition bench of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and shadow home secretary Diane Abbott. #EddieHughes #HouseOfCommons #GE2019
