'If you are losing the match, it's quite bad form to blame the referee.' Speaker John Bercow, whose cries of 'Order, order!' have gone viral amid Brexit chaos, is bowing out of UK Parliament — and he's leaving with a volley of parting shots for his critics
In a wide-ranging interview with CNN to mark the end of his term, Bercow, who has been accused of favoring the"remain" side of the Brexit debate, insisted that he had always acted as an impartial referee.
Bercow said that the passage of anti-no-deal legislation -- which Johnson is fond of describing as the"surrender bill" -- is"the most logical consequence if a deal isn't agreed" and Parliament doesn't want to sanction the UK crashing out of the EU without a deal.Boris Johnson is holding himself hostage But he dismissed speculation that he could take the helm of a caretaker government if Johnson was forced to resign in coming weeks.
