John Bercow has said he has no plans to stand down as Speaker of the House of Commons, despite speculation that he would retire this summer.
He said he would remain in post while there were what he described as “momentous events taking place in Parliament”.
He told the Guardian that it was not “sensible to vacate the chair” at the moment.
Will this poisonous creature never go? And the hubris on display belies his diminutive size. Another pocket Napoleon, no less.
There have been calls for the next Speaker to be a woman.
Well, Betty Boothroyd did a decent job, so why not?
“Well, Betty Boothroyd did a decent job, so why not?”
Or how about choosing a man or a woman who can do the job properly? I know it’s a bit off an the wall, out of the box, blue sky thinking sort of idea, but it might just work.
Indeed. It would be a nice change.
We could try a TV phone in.
How to solve a problem like John Bercow?
Depends on the calibre of the bullet
Anything from .22LR to .700 Nitro Express would do.
I think generally speaking .223 Remington is idea for pest control, a .44 magnum would be casting pearls before swine…
…or Bercow could self-identify…
On Bercow’s behalf, I identify him as a complete twat.
Is it a feature of photography, or are his head and body becoming spherical?
This obnoxious arse is still trying to stop Brexit.
How does he get away with it ?
Ann Widdecombe was in the running to be Speaker at one point. That would have been wonderful.
Wrong type of woman, because reasons.
Is it still considered bad form to contest the election in the Speakers constituency? I’d love to see a Brexit Party candidate kick is short ar$e into the long grass and give him no choice as to whether he stands down or not.
It is, but it’s just convention. When someone won’t go, convention be damned.
Farage stood in the Speakers constituency in the last but one GE.
Perhaps his constituency could be persuaded to deselect and recall the bastard.
