Not actually sure it will help Labour much in the former red wall seats with Bercow being strongly identified with Remain.

I don't think Bercow will do the Labour Party any favours, he isn't a pleasant man, if the bullying accusations against him are true.

Bullying is irrelevant. Just ask Priti Patel.

If course it isn't irrelevant, what a daft comment! ::)

The allegations against Priti Patel haven't done her any harm.
