Anything's possible with that loon, but I think it's more being made a peer. Bojo refused to do it despite the tradition of making the speaker into a peer. Corbyn tried, but the rules state that the opposition leader can't make peers out of opposing party members. With that impediment removed, the door is open for Starmer to do it. He might use a potential leadership bid as a threat to make sure Starmer plays ball. But that's a risky move. He's too remainy for many working class voters, too much of a tory for socialists and too mad for the rest. I can't see whence he gets a powerbase in order to launch a sustained attack.

JohnfromUK Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Politicians as a group are known for being devious, scheming and slippery, but Bercow took that to a new low and brought the “Office of the Speaker“ into disrepute. He has been playing for Labour at least since the Brexit vote- if not longer. A thoroughly toxic person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Without going into too much boring detail, Bercow is a decent man, met him several times and he helped me fight my local council and the DHSS by pulling the right strings. He supported me when I took the DHSS to a tribunal. Just my opinion of course.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no personal knowledge, only my observance of his conduct when Speaker. I am glad you had a good experience, presumably in his role as your local MP.

amateur Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Look on the bright side. If he achieves the Labour leadership, the Conservatives will be in for years.

He will by then have lost 3 by elections in a row, two of which 'should have been' Labour seats. It is a poor record by any standards for an opposition so early in a Parliament. The left (who dominate much of the 'Party machine' though NEC and Union affiliations etc., but are relatively thinly represented in the Parliamentary party) want this done - and I'm guessing they want to put a lefty back in leadership before Andy Burnham can have a chance to become an MP because he would be a popular candidate with the Parliamentary party. Corbyn and cronies (and before that Milliband) very much altered the leadership election process so that now Labour MPs only have quite a small part in choosing who leads them. In my view, Bercow is looking to the Labouyr party to put him up as a Lord for his £300 a day attendance allowance and subsidised trough and bar.

JohnfromUK Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Starmer is on thin ice himself; He lost the Hartepool by election (which Labour should have won), lost deposit in Amersham with 622 votes out of 38,000 cast, and is widely predicted to loose the Batley and Spen by election on 1st July, where again Labour should win. For the official opposition to be loosing safe seats early in a Parliament is a very poor result. The left want him out, claiming he is loosing because he isn't left enough. When reminded that Corbyn lost as well, they say he wasn't left enough either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
