Rejected petition Protect John Bercow from Tory plans to instigate a vote of no confidence.

The Speaker, John Bercow, spoke out this week sharing his feelings about Trump's presidency and the possibility of the President addressing parliament during a state visit. There are Tory factions who are planning to have him removed by a vote of no confidence.

More details

If somebody in the position such as Mr Speaker cannot speak out on the side of equality, against prejudice and the upholding of the judiciary, without fear of reprisal, and removal, free speech is in jeopardy.
