BREXIT - Furious Brexiteers raise questions about

Speaker Bercow in angry parliamentary exchanges.

 

"Mister Speaker" John Bercow was at the centre

of furious Commons scenes as MPs squabbled

over the potential process of bringing forward a

Brexit plan B.

 

The Commons Speaker faced a backlash from

Conservative MPs after selecting an amendment

from Tory former minister Dominic Grieve, which

aims to ensure Prime Minister Theresa May

returns with a revised EU exit plan within three

sitting days if her original Brexit deal is defeated.

 

Mr Grieve’s amendment wants to speed up

the process for a plan B and seeks to change

a Government motion detailing the timetable

for the Brexit deal debate, which Tory MPs

argued was “unamendable”.

 

Mr Bercow stood by his decision, telling the

Commons: “My understanding is the motion

is amendable, I’m clear in my mind about that.”

 

After heckles from the Tory benches, he added:

“I’m trying to do the right thing and make the right

judgments. That is what I have tried to do and

what I will go on doing.”

 

Tory former minister Mark Francois, deputy

chairman of the Eurosceptic European Research

Group (ERG), claimed Mr Bercow was not following

his own rules.
