LONDON - House of Commons Speaker John Bercow will step down on Thursday, ending a 10-year term in which he has become a central player in Britain’s protracted Brexit debate - feted by the “Remain” side but reviled by many Brexiteers.
The three years since Britain voted to leave the European Union have tested the limits of the country’s unwritten constitution as successive governments repeatedly clashed with rival lawmakers over the right way to leave the bloc. “Peppering every part of the chamber with your own thoughts and opinions like some uncontrollable tennis-ball machine.”
“The dilemmas you face mean that, on occasion, you will sometimes have to please some and not others, but it is becoming remarkable how often you please one lot and not the other lot,” lawmaker Bernard Jenkin, chair of the committee that scrutinizes the Speaker’s work, told Bercow last week in a testy exchange.
