Tory grandee Ken Clarke defended Speaker of the House John Bercow in a point of order after PMQs today.
Mr Bercow has admitted using the word 'stupid' and been reported to the Commons' standards watchdog over the reported comments about Leader of the House Andrea Leadsom.
Clarke said: 'Would you agree, Mr Speaker, if every time a member of this House has felt moved to say under his breath something rather abusive about another member, and action was taken, the chamber would be deserted for considerable quantities of time?
'Would you not agree it’s best to leave this to the body that is now investigating it and perhaps hope that some common sense will be applied to this rather overheated subject?'
Mr Bercow replied: 'I thank him for what he's said and members will make their own assessment of it.
'I simply do appreciate the fact that (Mr Clarke) says what he says on the strength of 48 years' uninterrupted service in this House next month.'
The Sun's political editor Tom Newton Dunn tweeted: 'Where are the doctors you promised? We’ve hired more than you did... blah blah etc. Tired old questions from Corbyn that illicit nothing from May but even more tedious responses. I’m calling it, this is the worst #PMQs ever.'
After Labour's Luciana Berger claimed the government's strategy for tackling mental health 'lacks ambition', Mrs May said the government is committed to ensuring 70,000 have access to mental healthcare by 2021.

No one knows more in this House than party political points scoring than the Liberal Democrats, Mrs May replies.
The SNP's Deirdre Brock says there are two groups of ministers working on how to achieve a frictionless border with Ireland, asking: 'Isn't it true she doesn't have a clue how it might work?'
Theresa May replies simply: 'No.'
Theresa May says she will not get involved in private matter of ownership of Wembley.
She says not enough donors registered from the Asian background and calls on the government to create a national donor to help children with leukemia.
Labour MP Jo Platt says: 'In the wake of Carillon, why is the PM allowing backdoor privatisation, instead of where it should be, safe in the public hands?'
The PM quips she has already answered questions on the NHS from the Labour leader.
Conservative MP Mark Pawseys says wants car industry to be able to have access to 'biggest market' tariff-free.
Mrs May says the government is striving towards 'frictionless' trade and is working with other business leaders.
Labour MP Paul Blomfield says schools are now at 'tipping point' and asks whether government will fully fund pay increases for teachers.
She says it is important that Department for Education is giving support to schools where it is needed.
We want to see at least 50,000 people diagnosed at an early stage of ovarian, lung, prostate and bowel cancer by 2033, says Mrs May.
Julian Sturdy asks for screening age of bowel cancer to be reduced from 60 to 50-years-old.
We are looking at how smart viewings can used to help early diagnoses, May says.
Mary Glidon says more must be done to protect new homebuyers buying new build houses and calls for a new Ombudsman to be protected.
Mrs May says measures are already in place to ensure buyers get what they pay for.

May says the number has fallen since she became the PM. Loud cheers are heard throughout the Chamber.
Loud jeers and shouts are heard in the Commons as the SNP's Pete Wishart tries to quiz the PM.
Speaker John Bercow demands silence from the rest of the House.
He says: 'The question will be heard and the answer will be heard, that's the way it has always been.'
Tom Pursgolve calls for the PM to back the daily mile scheme which will see children run a mile in school every day.
'This government is guilty of creating a generation of undocumented citizens,' says Ian Blackford.
The SNP's leader in Westminster will now level some questions at the PM.
Theresa May ends her questioning for Corbyn on a strong note.
She says: 'They want to overthrown capitalism. it would mean families paying higher taxes. But I say to the shadow chancellor and others. More debt for our children in future, less people in jobs/.... a Labour party that would bankrupt our economy would do unlasting damage to our NHS.'
Jeremy Corbyn goes back on the offensive.
He said: 'This year is the 70th birthday of the NHS... but the NHS reaches this milestone with the worst a&E rates waits on record, the worst delays for ncancer refereals, falling rates of GPs and nurses., and the longest funding squeeze in history while this government opens the door to more profiteering.
'Why doesn't the prime minister act now to stop the siphoning off of billion pounds of patient care and give it to the nhs, the funding that it needs.'
Jeremy Corbyn questions how many more GPs are now in the NHS. The Prime Minister fires back, saying she is committed to adding 5,000 more over the next government. Corbyn claims there are 1,000 fewer.
'We have stuck to the founding principle of the NHS that it is free at the point of use', says Theresa May.
She also accuses Labour of 'scaremongering' about the Tories running the NHS at every general election.
'It has put patients at risk of serious harm', Corbyn quotes the National Audit Office on their findings from private contracts in the NHS, and accuses her of putting 'profit before people'.
