Pro-EU Commons Speaker John Bercow ‘could be thrown out’ by MPs furious at his Brexit bias
Tory Brexiteer Crispin Blunt has tabled a motion saying the Speaker has no longer got the confidence of MPs in the Commons
PRO-EU Speaker Bercow is facing a huge backlash over his Brexit bias as MPs try to boot him out of the Commons.
Tory Brexiteer Crispin Blunt has tabled a motion saying the Speaker has no longer got the confidence of MPs after his repeated interventions over Brexit.
He accused Mr Bercow of failing to be fair in his job as the Commons referee, and said it was vital to the proper functioning of our Parliamentary democracy.
It reads that it was "impossible for this House to sustain belief in the impartiality of the Right Honourable Member for Buckingham and therefore has no confidence in the Speaker."
Mr Blunt said today there were "well over 100 MPs profoundly unhappy with the conduct of the Speaker" but that not enough of them were prepared to come forward.
He added: "John Bercow's handling of the Brexit issue was the subject of much anguished consideration inside government.
"His decisions have helped contribute to the national paralysis on this great question of our day."
And he said it was "disappointing" that his colleagues were prepared to accept his pro-Remain bias.
"Controversies around his conduct are certain to continue," he warned.
But the attempt appeared to flop as just his name was on the motion so far - and he admitted he hadn't got enough support for the time being.
And as it's an Early Day Motion it doesn't have to be debated or voted on in Parliament.
The Speaker sparked uproar last month when he blocked Theresa May from bringing back her Brexit bill for a third time unless it was different from the last time.
And he irritated Leave-backing backbenchers and the Government by not selecting their amendments during Brexit debates either.
The Speaker's office did not wish to comment on the motion today.
The Sun Says
IT is horrifying that apparently serious politicians are now demanding the US president be refused a state visit.
We expect it from idiot Corbynistas. They somehow justify a “protest” against Donald Trump despite belonging to a party so racist towards Jews it faces formal investigation by the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
But if Corbyn was ever elected, Emily Thornberry would be Foreign Secretary. And she too claims it “beggars belief” Trump will get a full state visit in June.
Labour afforded Vladimir Putin the same honour, naturally. Likewise the human rights tramplers of China and Saudi Arabia and a corrupt South African president once tried for rape.
America is our No1 friend and ally. We won two world wars together. If Brexit ever happens, that relationship will grow even stronger. But if Labour’s US-hating Marxists take power it will be wilfully destroyed.
Neither must happen. And if the verbose, virtue-signalling gnome John Bercow still insists on insulting the US by snubbing Trump he must be finally ousted.
Commons Speaker he may, sadly, still be. But he does not speak for Britain.
