Bercow stepping down

This.

As far as I'm concerned he's been the best speaker I can recall in my lifetime. He's defended parliament with honour and protected it's sovereignty.

As a person I found him an aloof **** but maybe that's a quality needed to be a decent Speaker of the House.

Hoyle would be a decent shout as he's had experience in his role as Deputy. The Blarites in the PLP are lobbying for Harriett Harman in the vein hope she reigns in Comrade Corbyn when his government takes over.
Fuck me she's 69 how long do you expect her to live.
 
So the the speaker has announced he will step down as speaker and MP when this parliamment ends.

He may be a tory, but he has been a great speaker of the house and entertaining to boot.

We have been blessed with the last three speakers in betty boothroyd, Michael Martin and John Bercow who have all been top notch


Who comes next who knows , though the deputy speaker Lindsey Hoyle always does a good job
A great Speaker? Been blessed to have him? Top notch? Im not biting
 
Being an original Blair babe the PLP probably expect her to live forever along with their greatest leader Tony.

The speakee needs to be of a certain disposition, which as respected as harmain is I don't think she has.
Bercow, Martin, Boothroyd all were, in their own different ways suited for the job I don't see that with Harriet.

Nor do I. I think it's mischief making by blairites.
 
He did his job as speaker.

Boris didn't like it.

Being a tory he's bound to have a skeleton that doesn't need revealing to the public so he makes a tearful speech announcing he's stepping down.

The best speaker I have witnessed and I love how he let the legislature properly scrutinise the executive.

As an MP his record was that of a horrible Tory, as a Speaker he was fabulous.
