• Bercow standing down at the end of October. That feels like a blow.

    I think he has been a good speaker, impartial, made watching parliamentary debates interesting if not exciting at times. I would say he just about manages to jump before he was pushed. I believe he's pissed off quite a few people on the far-right end of the Conservatives who see him as working against the government's agenda and trying to prevent Brexit from happening. Obviously no-one in Parliament is biased. They're all angels. If he is to retire from politics I think I'll miss him.

    U dizzy?

    The fact that he is bias towards my views doesn't stop me from seeing it.

    He gets top marks for hanging in for this long given the stack of complaints against him by staff. Which let's be honest is only down to the backing of the remain majority of the house.

    In any normal company he'd have been dismissed, or promoted and moved to another department with no direct line management.

  • What in particular do you think he has been biased over?

    Surely not Brexit, Bercow pretty much guaranteed that the referendum would happen in the first place. I'm not sure there would have been a referendum at all if it wasn't for Bercow.

  • In any normal company a good bit of Westminster would be sent home for bullying, sexism, misuse of company funds... :)

  • Bullshit. He's ensured the right of parliament to be sovereign. Which is his job.

    The speaker's job is to defend parliament, not the government.
