John Bercow mocks Boris Johnson and 'eager beaver' Tory MPs over chances of 'strong Brexit'

John Bercow has mocked Boris Johnson and his army of “eager beaver” Tory MPs, saying “they are wrong” if they think they will achieve a “strong Brexit”.

The former Commons speaker used a keynote speech in Westminster on Tuesday afternoon to attack the administrations of Johnson and Theresa May, while also defending Remainer MPs who challenged the fraught Brexit process in Parliament.

Bercow, who opened his slot at the Parliament and Brexit conference by parodying his own famous shout of “ordaaair”, was accused in his final years in the speaker’s chair of siding with Remainer MPs.
