He has high principles, it is his right to become a peer, she is a pity to deny him. but again she loves YES men. which he is not one.

drunk

get rid asap

Go John boy doing a gr8t job ?

The peerage swamp needs draining next.

Devalues the many decent peers. Our whole system is showing up why change is needed urgently.

It's hard to describe the level of dignity, grace, humility and political neutrality Bercow has brought to the Office of Speaker.

The amount of dignity, grace, humility and political neutrality Bercow has brought to the Office of Speaker is incredible.

There's no upside hanging in there like a bad case of constipation

MPs in contempt of Parliament can be removed so remove this little weasel

Huge respect for this gentleman. He should be next prime minister.

Kick that despicable small time bully into the dung heap where he belongs. He can then dominate all that is dropped on him from on high. With no fear of any reprisals. Because of the foul smell he surely would have attached to him by association with his dung heap.

I'm sure he'll be even more delightful then 😂

This could secure the Tories more votes.

Nasty little man trying to be a big man

I don’t mean to be unkind but I’d rather he stayed Till 2022 but then ceased to be a legislator.

Deselection would sort it

Please do Mr Bercow!

kerryhunt282 I’d love to see it

I'm starting to like him now.

An electorate watches treason in despair.

He could end up 'next door' in the Tower of London.

Yes because getting a peerage from Boris Johnson or Jacob Rees Mogg is somehow more likely

Madness

If Bercow does get his peerage, will his wife become a lady ?

He’s so Biased he should not be in his chair when Brexit is being debated he’s a Remainer and as shown it , he as a Deputy that is excellent doing Speakers Job. Bercow will b De Selected like Greives Subery Boles Cooper there constituants are in to them . Kick them out and t rest

He makes me laugh but at times he gets carried away and telling adults off he shud be called moocoW!!

The guy loves playing to the gallery.

It would be bizarre to deny him a peerage for doing to decent a job and acting with complete integrity. Just shows what passes for government now.

Good man.

No no no

Drag him from that chair.

Oh dear.

Sack him

Good for him! Perhaps he could make Theresa May answer a question or two, while he's at it?

But his constituency electorate could vote him out or his constituency association could deselect him.

Parliament is a complete embarrassment!

Not a snowflakes hope in hell. Toast!

Another example of the Political Elites in the Westminster bubble taking the p*ss. Country first, my ar*e.

Weasels don’t live that long - do they?

He’s really good. Not like he makes every session about him.

Gd 4 him, he shud stand up 2 bullys, that try 2 thwart the democratic process of the UK parliamentary representative democracy. It is parliament that is sovereign not gov. If brexiteers want parliament sovereign well they have it.

Oh good a sane voice in parliament

Awdahhhhh, awdahhhh!! Awdahhhh I say. I said “awwwdahhh”!!!!

I thought it was a Honour give to the Honourable

Good. He's a bastion of parliamentary sovereignty.

Surely Sally will have squashed him by then?

Excellent.

Sack him

Speaker John Bercow to be DENIED peerage? Ministers want REVENGE for ‘bias’ over BrexitCOMMONS Speaker John Bercow could be blocked from getting a peerage when he retires, after sparking fury at his alleged “bias” during a debate on Brexit last week. We do not need any new Lords. Period. Too many hangers on already to let this little man in. He's managed many years of conflict in the commons, including many MPs' and Ministers stupidity. He is better than most ministers have been. So, if that happens for his endeavours it demonstrates ministers never left the school playground! There are no statesmen there today!
