This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Sack John Bercow MP for his politically bias insults against the US President.
The Speaker of the house of Commons must be politically impartial. The outrageous insults towards the President of the United States by John Bercow plainly show he must be immediately removed from office.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
There is no mechanism for the removal of a Speaker during a Parliament. Other than at a general election, the Speaker can only stop being Speaker through resignation or death.
If you like, you could sign the petition below, which asks the House of Commons to debate a vote of no confidence in the Speaker:
