Well that’s the fun gone out of it now.
In fairness, he was good. Knew his Parliamentary Privilege and delivered with some style. Handed Gove, Johnson and co their bottoms on a plate several times without fear or favour. He’ll be missed.
A pompous bully.
An enjoyable pompous bully though
Westminster is the home of pompous bullies.
Diddums. You stick with your bumbling Cean Comhairle.
The Daily Mail called him an “egotistical preening popinjay [who] has shamelessly put his anti-Brexit bias before the national interest – and is a disgrace to his office”.
So now we know what comics you read.
If he goes to the Lords, he’ll be known as Lord Bercow of Elocution.
A standing ovation from Labour MP”s only.
The Tories are barely even clapping politely(!) – very poor form, indeed.
I imagine the announcement probably blew Monday’s parliament schedule a bit off course..fahdum tish
