## Summary

Deputy Speaker Nusrat Ghani drew attention for her sharp reprimands to MPs during debate after Chancellor John Healey’s Budget statement. Her interventions helped curb heckling and were widely praised by social media users, making her a prominent figure in the Commons proceedings.

Ghani, the Conservative MP for Sussex Weald, has chaired the Ways and Means committee since 2024 and traditionally presides over Budget discussions. She told Luke Evans to write himself a prescription to calm down, noted that James Cartlidge had spoken more than the Chancellor, and rebuked other MPs for their behaviour. She also wore a tie featuring Sussex’s flag, with six gold martlets on a blue field.
