That means he won't be sporting his festive designer ties beneath his solemn robes or clamping down on rude lawmakers with his patented pleas for "orrr-duhhh" from his elevated podium for much longer.
"Throughout my time as speaker I have sought to increase the relative authority of this legislature for which I will make absolutely no apology to anyone, anywhere, at any time," he said. It was a rare instance in which opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn and Conservative Cabinet minister Michael Gove agreed, both praising Bercow for his commitment to the democratic process.
Bercow, 56, began his career as a right-of-centre conservative, but gradually morphed into someone perceived as an enemy by the Conservative Party power structure, largely because he was seen as a stout defender of Parliament's rights. Bercow's decision to speak out is consistent with the way he sees his role -- protecting the primacy of Parliament from encroachment, either by an overzealous prime minister, an intrusive British judge, or by the European Union.
Despite the frequent grumbling about his outspoken nature, Bercow has been re-elected to the position twice.
Boris making life unbearable
Say it isn't so. He made highlights of UK parliament tolerable. 'Order! Order!'. will be missed.
😮😮Bercow has destroyed the institution of Speaker. He goes the way he operated: with partisanship, sentimentality and a billion words where one would do.
Good riddence
Who?
Maybe the problem with UK politicians is that everyone talks but no one listens.
