Secret Plan to make Speaker John Bercow Prime Minister, Revealed.
By John Ferguson Scottish Daily Record 29 Sep 2019QUOTE
The Speaker of the House has emerged as a shock candidate to take over in No10 if Boris Johnson’s crisis-hit Government fails.
The Brexit fiasco is set for its most sensational twist yet - a secret plan to make speaker JOHN BERCOW prime minister.
Politicians of all colours were last night desperately trying to work out a way to topple BORIS JOHNSON and thwart a No Deal Brexit.
SNP chiefs said they’d support Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn as an interim PM following a vote of no confidence - ensuring a general election before Alex Salmond’s criminal trial starts.
But senior figures in the Lib Dems won’t back Corbyn - a position Scottish leader Willie Rennie amplified in an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mail.
That has led to growing support for a ‘nuclear option’ that would appall hardcore Brexiteers on the Tory right - a move to put pint-sized Bercow in 10 Downing Street as the head of a national unity government.
Bercow, who was the Conservative MP for Buckingham when he was elected Speaker in 2009, has declared his intention to stand down by the end of next month.
He is seen as having cross-party appeal and someone who can win support across the spectrum from Tory moderates to the Labour left.
Other candidates mentioned as potential leaders of a unity government include Tory grandee Ken Clark, former home secretary Amber Rudd and Labour’s Margaret Beckett.
Whichever candidate prevails will be asked to confirm an extension to the current withdrawal date of October 31 and call a general election - though some voices say the new PM should be more than just a caretaker. That would open up the possibility on the new leader being tasked with finding a new Brexit solution.
One senior Labour MP said: ‘’Bercow is definitely a name being mentioned more and more behind the scenes and there seems to be growing support even if it’s an outside bet at the moment. ‘’In many ways he would be the ideal candidate - someone who could command respect from all sides of the House and calmly work with party leaders, with clear limits on his function to get us out of this mess’’
‘’There is no doubt that part of the appeal is also that this would be the ultimate f**** you to Boris Johnson and the ERG who loathe Bercow because they believe he has frustrated Brexit at every turn.
‘’He is perhaps the only Tory with a bigger personality than Johnson himself.
‘’Bercow has said he is standing down as Speaker but he can remain as an MP, which means he would be eligible for the job, and you have to think that he would be extremely flattered by the offer if it were to come’’
Another said: ‘’It is a genuine option. Bercow ticks a lot of boxes here and would be more palatable to the Lib Dems than Corbyn.
‘’It would be worth it just to see the total meltdown the extreme Brexiteers would go through - they can’t stand John’’
Nicola Sturgeon had made it clear that the SNP would be prepared to back Corbyn.
Yesterday, SNP MP Stewart Hosie told BBC radio the plan was ‘’the only game in town’’.
But in an interview with the Sunday Mail, Rennie said there was ‘’no chance’’ of that becoming reality and said Bercow would now a realistic alternative’’.
The Scottish Lib Dem leader said: ‘’If John Bercow can command support across all of those in stopping a No Deal Brexit then he is a credible option. ‘’The leader has to be someone who can simultaneously command the support of Tories and those on the Labour left. There aren’t many like that and he is one.
‘’A Corbyn prime ministership is not going to happen. There are Conservatives you would need to get on board but they will not, so it is not a credible plan. ‘’The SNP need to calm down and think this through.
‘’The danger is that they create a situation in which we crash out of the EU’’
UNQUOTE
The mere thought of that little fart being Prime Minister is hilarious! What a masterplan. Bring it on then, then bring on the General Election. I can almost guarantee it will be mass slaughter at the polls. Bercow will be annihilated, along with every one of those cockroaches that have done their damnest to stop Brexit. We’re waiting.
TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK.

Re: Secret Plan to make Speaker John Bercow Prime Minister, Revealed.
Sorry Solasch, in response to your post re ticking time bomb, I was still laughing at the thought of that little fart Bercow as PM of the United Kingdom, put forward by that dithering, divided, hopeless faction of foaming at the mouth rabble.They are so pathetic they can't even decide on a clear battle plan, and their pact has all but collapsed, they are so at odds with each other. Each time they come up with a plot or slander, it's thousand's of more votes for Leave.
Their time is coming. They may as well enjoy themselves while they can.Most of them will be out of a job soon enough.
As I said, the clock is ticking..
Bring on the GE. TICK TOCK. TICK TOCK.
