UK Speaker: We can't let mob rule smash democracy
CNN
Following high-profile attacks on democratic institutions, including the January 6 riot at the US Capitol, UK Parliament Speaker Lindsay Hoyle feels an urgent responsibility to champion political freedoms.
"What happened at Capitol Hill, we are going to make sure it doesn't happen here," Hoyle told CNN in an exclusive TV interview.
Hoyle, who as speaker is the highest authority in the British House of Commons, is hosting US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other counterparts at the G7 Speakers' summit this weekend. The in-person event is taking place in his hometown of Chorley in northwest England, with a focus on "secure and open parliaments."
