I suspect he feels bad for her - after the torrid time she had in the *witness* box it's hard to remember she isn't actually on trial.

MPs can, and do, use Parliamentary privilege to say all sorts of things that would land anyone else in the dock. Seeing as this country is suppsoed to be a parliamentary democracy, I think that's fair enough. The judge should just suck it up and get on with his job, part of which is guiding the jury as to what they should evaluate and what they should ignore.
