9:03 didn’t expect to see my Mp

[@HouseofCommonsPlayback]

Well he wont get paid until he swears in! Nick Timothy MP (West Suffolk, Conservative)

[@rnanerd6505]

What happens if you're a Republic supporter, is there an alternative oath?

[@rururururuj]

I think Colum Eastwood (SDLP) takes the oath but makes a clarification that he doesnt believe in it I think

[@rnanerd6505]

@rururururuj ok that's good to know

[@katharis90]

iirc a Northern Ireland MP made her protest known before speaking the affirmation.

[@mildlydispleased3221]

No, because we aren't a Republic. Love or hate the monarchy, that is just how it is I'm afraid

[@rnanerd6505]

@mildlydispleased3221 yes sure, but we're also a constitutional monarchy and a democracy. Supporting a republic is a legitimate view point. So I think a compromise is what the SDLP MP did, go through the process but qualify it.
