Must admit a titter ran round the audience at the line "And so a decade after his eyes first locked level with her knees, Bercow finally proved himself worthy to marry Ms Illman."

Cruel, harsh, maybe, but if it's funny then it's just funny.

That last line sums it up nicely:

“After reading his life story the reader is left with an impression of a man who has spent his life doing an impression of a man. Whatever else once existed long-ago disappeared in a small puff of unwise, and probably improper, self-regard”.
