Wrong and wrong.
No he doesn't and or does anyone else. Peerages and the HoL are anachronistic and the antithesis of a democracy. State baubles for favours and perpetuating an unelected chamber as part of our lawmaking should stop. We need an elected upper chamber.
No he's biased in an unbiased job.
No. a predictable award devalues it and stifles enterprise
Err! What about those allegations of bullying & episodes of sexist behaviour during debates.Not forgetting what is seen by many members of the public as mischievous behaviour during Brexit.
Tory spite knows no bounds - just because he hasn't allowed a weak, incompetent govt to run roughshod over Parliamentary procedures to suit their own self-interest, he is being publicly criticised in an organised and unparliamentary manner which says everything about this govt.
jpjanson Then, Bercow can join in the team of well known villains
That is true. They should feel ashamed that they are choosing to discriminate against him for the perception of his personal opinions , in my opinion
he is biased and unworthy of the position
AngryRemainer Of course May's petty denial of a Knighthood for Bercow creates a precedent - that it is not going to be given that she, when her term is over, would be as per precedent, naturally awarded a peerage or dameship herself by her successor.
If he’s happy to overturn long standing precedent in HofC procedure, I’m content for PM to overturn precedent of automatically giving retiring Speaker peerage. Let him be proposed in regular way & let honours committee decide. Everyone should be content with that.
Damn right! The real question is would JB want his Peerage sullied by being awarded to him by Theresa May!? He should bide his time until a credible PM/government is in power.
He is a traitor abusing his position. Not uncommon with the Left, convinced as they are that their views and ideas equal holding the moral highground.
Logic and decency is wasted on this government.
He is a traitor abusing his position. Not uncommon with the Left, convinced they are there ideas are the moral highground.

MrTCHarris Sick of these self serving politicians giving themselves awards. Media sorts kissing their asses for stories . leaks and mere gossip for their white noise infill propagandist rags . Its Bloody animal farm UK politics style . MrTCHarris The grandstanding, arrogant, attention-seeking, self-important and shamelessly biased oaf should be turfed out as soon as humanly possible with no peerage and no accolades. He must be replaced by someone who will restore trust, neutrality and dignity to the role of Speaker.
