Former UK House of Commons Speaker John Bercow switches from Tories to Labor, UK newspaper reports The Guardian. His move comes with a fierce attack on current Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Bercow became known for the vivid way he shouted “order, orrrrr-duh-rrrrr”.
According to Bercow, the Tories have become “reactionary, populist and sometimes even xenophobic,” he said in an interview with The Observer. Bercow resigned in 2019 after being “Speaker of the House” for 10 years. He says he went to Labor a few weeks ago because he sees this party as the only way to get the current government out.
