Tory backbencher Nadine Dorries doesn't like Speaker Bercow and she doesn't like the reforms he has introduced to his own dress code, amongst other things.
She wants him out of the chair and, assuming they are both returned to the Commons at the next general election, will undoubtedly do everything she can to force another election for the job, fruitless though that is likely to be.
In the mean time, however, she is attempting to whip up a mini-rebellion over his position, urging MPs not to get out of his way when he is walking the corridors of power.
She claims he got very upset when he was walking back to his office the other evening, accompanied by the usual entourage, and she flouted tradition and refused to pin herself to the nearest wall and avert her eyes.
Now there is some debate over whether this really is the "seriously enforced" rule Ms Dorries claims or whether officers simply expect Mr Speaker to be given a clear route through the building and have no problem with MPs looking at him.
Either way, Ms Dorries blogs: "If you want to drop the tradition of wearing the Speaker's dress, then don’t expect me to honour the tradition of standing still in the corridor when you move along it.
"So, I call upon my colleagues to join me. Don't clear the corridor, walk with your head high."
Exactly whether this rebellion should include refusing to clear a route through the central lobby when the Speaker's procession is under way is not clear.
The sight of the mace bearer and others bulldozing MPs out of the way as they lead their man to the chair should certainly give the tourists something to look at.
