John Bercow ex Speaker of HoCs

[MrSki]

Well Mr Bercow has certainly swapped his spots for red roses. From being a right wing apartheid supporting tory cunt to become a soft leftist via the speaker's chair. Has been busy in the last week after appearing on Question Time & calling the sending of gunboats to Jersey juvenile,



to appearing on GMB this morning and calling Johnson a liar & telling a not too impressed Suzanna Reid who had referred to Johnson as Boris that he was her favourite puppy dog.

Admitting the he voted for Khan in the London mayoral elections.



Hope he appears on political programmes more often,

dunno. there is a danger with massive twats like johnson that people who were previously considered (and still are) tory twats, now seem sane and almost left wing in comparison. (see also some US republicans who haven't gone along with trump)

and the labour party turning in to an alternative (and slightly less barkingly right wing) conservative party distorts things further...

 

[planetgeli]

He's not Lord Bercow because of the Tory party. He's hardly going to forgive them.

Bercow takes 'positions' based on what he thinks is good for him.

Soft left my arse.

 

[Flavour]

Perhaps he will be parachuted in to lead the Labour Party

 

[bellaozzydog]

His verbosity irks me

Has me reaching for the thesaurus/dictionary

 

[Border Reiver]

I think you will find that political and social views are a sexually transmitted disease. Bercow, Johnson, Harry...

 

[StoneRoad]

Much as I found some of Bercow's rulings perplexing, he was quite a character and seems to have upset both right & left wingers ...

He might well set up as an alternative mini-beast from Bolsover and give some politicians / policies a good going over.

I can remember visiting the house in the strangers gallery as a teenager and observing JB command the house whilst acting as Anne Widdecombe's deputy. He is a clever, astute and egoistical performer. The ego usually goes with the job. Unfortunately the other two attributes are often missing.

Are you sure about being Anne Widdecombe's deputy?

He is circumlocutory and pompous

Not quite but I hadn't imagined it. He was a shadow spokesman for home affairs whilst she was shadow home secretary. The labour members made repeated points about how delightful it was to not have Ms Widdecombe's present. I wasn't a teenager then though. This was during another time in London. Parliamentary career for John Bercow - MPs and Lords - UK Parliament

He does seem to have far too much of the "what about me" about him. Fuck that.

Fair play for finding any.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Guess he found it a lot easier under the current leadership.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Irrelevant.

 

[glitch hiker]

Labour shifting to the right further then

 

[Puddy_Tat]

interesting that someone who once was a tory MP is allowed to join the labour party, someone who re-tweeted something in a way that might possibly have indicated support for a left party years ago is rejected...

I can think of at least two ways other than an election of ejecting the current administration

 

[Sasaferrato]

It will be a hope of being offered a Labour safe seat, which I don't see happening.

The thing about turncoats is that no one really trusts them after that.

Not really. More a sign of how far right they've drifted

You've stopped being a Tory haven't you?

I find myself piqued by his garrulity.

what, somewhere like hartlepool?

oh, hang on...

What are they?

 

[Pickman's model]

What are they?

Military coup, revolution, a great big bomb, prosecution of the cabinet for conspiring against the queen, sadly the list isn't endless

 

[Sasaferrato]

You've stopped being a Tory haven't you?

Yes and no.

I think that the current government is appalling, but there may be a future government that isn't.

I vote Labour in Scottish elections, and Conservative in Council elections. We have a Cons/Labour council who play nicely with one another. Scottish Council of the year for years in a row.

All governments are appalling
