But it is the government’s lack of a majority, not the antics of the Speaker, that is blocking the Brexit deal

THE INTERVENTION on March 18th by the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, could almost have been scripted to make the Brexit process even more tortuous. Without warning the government, Mr Bercow ruled that Downing Street could not put Theresa May’s Brexit deal, which has already twice been rejected by large majorities, to a third vote unless it was changed in substance.

Mrs May could try to use the Bercow ruling to justify renegotiating the Brexit deal, telling EU leaders that unless they agree to alter it she will be unable to put it before Parliament again. But the EU would surely say no. It has made clear that the withdrawal agreement, including the Irish backstop which hardline Brexiteers regard as a trap to keep Britain in a customs union, cannot be renegotiated.

The above statement is a piece of typical fake news which has only validity in the mind of those whose enterprise is to imagine the right to judge someone critically & disrespectfully without a thought in the world for the recipient. For that reason, I won't lend it my intellect!

John Bercow like you are an expert

Now, which other figure am I thinking of that this sounds like...🤔?

Also the fact that the whole exercise is fundamentally flawed.

I agree. Leadership is also about facilitation of ideas, building consensus without compromise and understanding of context. May shares this head-down selfish approach to politics with Corbyn. A prefect storm of leadership breakdown.

Great tie

Help Is At Hand - Solution

May, is a poor leader. She should never have been PM. I’ve been a life long Conservative party supporter, NO MORE!!! All lying BREXITEERS need to be tried for TREASON. John Bercow is the only adult in parliament.

It might also have something to do with the fact that it is an extremely poor deal that satisfies few if any.

Good man !

Why can't we have Jacinda Arden as our PM? Her speech on never speaking the terrorist's name was spot on and her whole response to this appalling incident has been very impressive from the start

'Erskine May” 👊👊👊

I mean it’s defo both.

...bottom line...don’t leave my life in other peoples hands, how has it turned out so far?!
