Bercow resigning as Speaker

[Stussy]

I was thinking exactly the same, it could make for good viewing!
I’ll be up all night watching anyway, so that could make it more entertaining

[NoNeed]

It appears that Boris is following Bercows lead in defying convention and not honouring him

[DMN]

Very pathetic from Johnson. But did anyone expect any better?

2019 just keeps getting better and better. 2020 looking good too.

Agreed. He has behaved like a and shouldn’t be honoured. Self important little prick

No - sadly all too predictable

To be fair and I’m generally a supporter of tradition but I challenge anybody to question the phrase: “you reap what you sow” or whatever it is

Expect long complaints from Bercow that conventions should be followed if it suits him.

Bercow repeatedly challenged “convention” when it suited him. But when Johnson does itbis pathetic?

I think Bercow knew, hence he has been on the media circuit. I give it 6 months before he has a book out...

And 7 months before said book is in the reduced bin at Waterstones!


Bercow’s an odious, self promoter, who’s dined out on his ‘power’ for his own agenda for years, (well before Brexit).
You cannot reward such people with Honours.

Now if there was a New Years point and laugh as the chickens have come home to roost list, I’d have him at the top.

Why should someone who faced serious and multiple allegations of bullying be rewarded with an honour until those same allegations are disproved?

As Bercow said, convention is there to be broken...

[Troubleatmill]

bks to Bercow.

This was already being discussed under May. I bet Boris has not even thought about the honours list.

[turbobloke]

May or not, Bercow doesn't deserve a gong.

Boris should break with tradition in honour of Bercow that's all.

[Semmelweiss]

Won't be long before he is elevated to the Lords. Odious little man.

[230TE]

I think he should have got an award. Specifically, DBE. Rarely have we seen such a self-publicising drama queen in British politics.
