    Sorry for the pretty rough audio. I started writing this video at 1130 last night, finished the animation at about 2am and then recorded the audio early this morning in my shed to avoid waking anyone. Turns out that recordings on MacBooks in sheds aren't the highest quality… – Jack

    The fact that the government came to hate him so much is incontrovertible proof of what a great speaker he was

    Your headline asks 'Why the Former Speaker abandoned the Conservatives'. For anyone in the UK, with half a brain, the answer is blindingly obvious…………..the man is an utter and complete arrogant wanker! Question answered.

    Bercow was found out to be a serial liar and bully, banned from parliament for life and labour booted him out.

    John 3:16-21

    16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

    18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

    19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

    20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

    21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

    December 26, 2023 at 10:39 am

    Simple ! He's got a conscience and he will be invaluable as 2 present the Labour Party ( my party) in a good light ! Of course he is believable and after what's happened in this country it's no wonder a thoroughly decent man wants different 4 his own and every1 else other than a transfixed illogical and dangerous attitude or aptitude towards the working class even the disabled and the impoverished through Tory idealism that means punishing the innocents?!?!?! Haway john bercow ya welcome !!!!!

    Bercow as PM could technically ease tension in a post Brexit GB,.. preventing it falling appart.

    He was accused of it for five years, he may as well

  24. @thesmithersy

    December 26, 2023 at 10:39 am

    He only did it because he really wants that peerage.

  25. @adriandurlej9266

    December 26, 2023 at 10:39 am

    Wow a politician with a record of doing the right thing even at detriment to his own career. Who stands buy his own changing point of view and acts on it. Not afraid to criticize past prime ministers no matter which party they were in?

    wow maybe an actually good politician does exist?

  26. @joshuawhalley8203

    December 26, 2023 at 10:39 am

    It seems hard to believe that Bercow would want revenge over not receiving a peerage, especially since he turned it down from Labour. (which isn't to say he didn't want 'revenge', but I'm sceptical it would be over that in particular).

  27. @AaronMichaelLong

    December 26, 2023 at 10:39 am

    Rabbid is not a "British" spelling of rabid, you know. The Rabbids are characters from the Rayman series of games.

  28. @Jimbojo

    Rabid has one 'B'….
