Watch: Maria Miller tells John Bercow to go

John Bercow is under growing pressure to step down over the report into bullying in the Commons. But while the Speaker has been all too eager to take a stand in the past – saying, for instance, that Donald Trump was not welcome in Parliament – he isn’t taking the hint when it comes to his own future. In the Commons just now, Maria Miller told Bercow to his face that it was time for him to go:

‘The report is clear that there needs to be a complete change in leadership at the most senior level, including you, Mr Speaker, if we are…to press the reset button’

Will Bercow finally take the hint? Mr S won’t count on it…

Update:

James Duddridge has also turned on John Bercow. The Tory MP had this to say in the Commons debate on bullying:

‘Taunting, mocking, mimicking, belittling someone’s junior status, making lengthy and humiliating tirades…in front of colleagues.
