It is absolutely the right course of action.
It is indeed. What did the little gnome expect. He used to walk into the Commons looking around smiling at people as if he felt he was universally respected. That image used to make me feel sick.

Now he's making money by public speaking. I suppose there are always a few who are willing to pay to listen to his biased tripe.

Should we set up a petition...Surely he deserved a knighthood?
But he'll probably get one next year when all the media have forgoten him. Not long to wait for the cushy number

Bercow will not be forgotten let alone forgiven for a number of generations and nor should he be.

Hope you are right but my cynical side says that (If I may be allowed to quote Harold Wilson) "A week is a long time in politics"

A year (or two) is a very long time We'll see but just to make it crystal clear I don't want to see him go to the Lords, there are few places he could go to but I better not write them on here

He may have a cushy job lined up in the EU just like Neil Kinnock who leapt aboard the gravy train.

Well, I liked him.
He kept those overgrown, idiotic schoolkids in blue under control during PMQs.
I hope the replacement doesn't give in to their incessant, juvenile, bullying, caterwauling and makes Mogg sit up straight!

I see the `Little Gnome` has been spending tax-payers money like it's going out of fashion. The amount of claimed expenses is eye-watering.

Disgusting. I assume that there is no-one to check and approve his claims, and that this is not an uncommon practice in those circles.

Nothing wrong with him that a much deserved encounter with a jihadi Jonh wouldn't put right :thumbup:
