Amid Brexit uncertainty, UK House of Commons Speaker to step down

Speaker of the UK House of Commons, John Bercow, announced his decision to step down from his post. He will demit office on October 31, 2019, or at the time of the next election, whichever comes first. Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, wants the nation to leave the European Union by October 31. Members of Parliament from various parties showered praise on the speaker. In his speech, Bercow said that throughout his tenure, he tried to increase the relative authority of the legislature for which he won't apologise to anyone.

John Bercow can now freely become a rugby referee with a microphone who simply loves to be heard by an audience. He may speak total nonsense but he likes his voice to be heard as often and as loudly as possible...He thinks that he is more important than the game that he is supposed to be officiating.

Should have been sacked years ago for his EU bias.
