  • Liberal Democrat MP Steve Darling has told Sky News that his guide dog has become a celebrity while helping him navigate the Palace of Westminster and his constituency in Devon.
    Talking to Sky's Kay Burley, the MP for Torbay said his assistance dog, Jennie, "seems to light up the place" when she assists him in parliament - and constituents at his surgeries in Torquay often ask for selfies.
    Mr Darling, who has a rare genetic eye condition and is registered blind, also spoke about the challenges of navigating Westminster with a visual impairment, adding that small adjustments such as improved signage can make a big difference.

      Am I the only one bothered by the fact that she’s being stroked while working?

    Hard to dislike people that your dog likes. More dogs in politics now.

    Good addition to the space.
    edit: maybe stop shouting so much in the chamber while she sleeps.

    Is Jenny one of just two guide dog families which have graced the House with their presence? I recall David Blunkett's Teddy and his successors, but were there any others?

    I worked with a blind woman who had a beautiful guide dog. Everyone bought treats for her so her owner had to be careful to say no, because it's not good for her health if everyone is stuffing her with treats. She was a lovely silky dog, like this one in the video.

    MPs could have pet pandas. They are still not trusted.
    Stop using the dog to make yourselves seem like human beings.
