The longest-serving Speaker of the House of Commons since the Second World War, John Bercow was once seen as on the right of the Tory party, later becoming a member of the Tory shadow cabinet. He moved to the left throughout his political career subsequently becoming a thorn in the side of the Conservative Johnson government. Join him as he outlines his vision for the future and why Britain desperately needs change.

John Bercow is one of the most recognisable and iconoclastic figures in British politics. As Speaker of the House of Commons from 2009 to 2019, his distinctive bellow for order spanned the tenure of four Prime Ministers and a decade of political turmoil.

Goverment should not pay for people's rent. People should be responsible to pay rent from their own pocket, aren't they? I think you agree with the landlords, cut down housing benefit, let people pay their own housing. So the people who do work can keep their tax payment down, so the money can then go into their pension/account instead of paying someone elses rent.

I'd argue that Sunak didn't even start well. Almost his first act was to re-instate a Home Secretary who'd been fired less than a week earlier for a security breach, and a Home Secretary he must have known didn't even vaguely share his world view. From that point on, although the bluster was gone, although the public performance was lacking, I can't think of any substantive actions he took of which I can honestly say "I don't think Boris Johnson would have done that". He promised to be different, but he was more of the same. Perfect example - look at his response when slapped down by the courts on Rwanda (a policy Sunak is known to have thought was nuts to start with). If anything, his response to that setback was even worse than Johnson's response when the Supreme Court did something similar to him.

I’m in the U.S. where we have exactly the same overwhelmingly devastating problem of tax avoidance. Many years ago I was engaged in a conversation with fellow teachers, who were FOX news watchers, talking about “welfare queens”. I never heard that term before not being a Fox Watcher. I said I believe the tax fraud at the other end of the income spectrum was a much worse problem.

Wonderful, eloquent talk. As a US citizen, I noticed that he also used ..gasp! .. 4 or 5 syllable words when needed. No dumbing down... and what he said seems, to me, to be spot on.

@@aninda2457 eg. I think that Brexit was a key moment in UK politics. Bercow did his best to restrain the prominent brexiteers and did his job well therefore. Brexit of course has proved to be a disaster.

@timkbirchico8542 4 дня назад

@@aninda2457 How is that a different argument? It was an example of Bercow as the Speaker in a crucial moment in UK history. Bercow restrained the brexiteers, the Speaker has the right to call order when an MP is out of line with Parliamentary procedures. In fact it is a major function of the Speaker. The Speaker is in no position to otherwise interfere with a statement made by a member of the house.

I could listen to John Bercow for hours. His skill and colourful language he uses in delivering his speech is music to my ears. If only he would start a college of educating public speakers it would mean listening to speakers in HOC would be a lot more easy on the ear rather than have to listen to the drivel, stuttering & muttering we are subjected to at the present.
