«Breaking News» Commons Speaker 'is using Brexit to boost Brand Bercow before he quits'

The Speaker of the Commons has been accused of ‘shameless’ grandstanding to promote ‘Brand Bercow’ ahead of his expected resignation this year.

John Bercow grabbed international headlines last week by invoking a 400-year-old Commons rule and blocking Theresa May’s bid to bring her Withdrawal Agreement back for a further vote.

But the move – and the 56-year-old’s soaring public profile – come amid mounting suggestions that he will give up his £150,000-plus job within months after ten years to take up well-paid public appearances and after-dinner speaking engagements. Commons sources say Bercow, who originally signalled he would retire in 2018, will go a few weeks after Easter.

One said: ‘MPs are saying openly that he’ll be gone within three months.

‘The more outlandish his behaviour gets, the nearer he’s getting to the exit.’

And last night, Tory MP David Morris said: ‘The Speaker is shamelessly using the Brexit crisis as a launch-pad for his future “Brand Bercow” career as a celebrity speaker and after-dinner entertainer. His attention-grabbing antics, culminating in his decision to block the Prime Minister from having a third vote on her deal, are all proof of that.

‘What our divided House of Commons desperately needs is a scrupulously impartial chairman. Instead, we have a partisan, openly Remain-supporting Speaker who wants to go out in a blaze of glory by doing his best to thwart the referendum. It is an absolute disgrace.’

The Speaker’s spokesman declined to comment on his future plans. And friends of Bercow hit back last night, claiming it was ridiculous to accuse him of any other motives apart from standing up for Parliament.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
