People love John Bercow’s takedown of this Tory MP’s question about a ‘Bollocks to Brexit’ car sticker
The speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow isn’t too popular with Tory Brexiteers right now – no change there, you might think.
But this was a particularly enjoyable exchange between Bercow and Conservative MP Adam Holloway who wasn’t happy with a ‘Bollocks to Brexit’ sticker he thought he’d seen on the speaker’s car.
Here’s how it played out, and Bercow’s response got people cheering.

Boom!
Absolutely brilliant response 👏👏👏
This man has made my day today – finally someone with the guts to stand up to the absolute nonsense that has been going on – well done #Bercow I salute you 🙌

Bercow pure gold today, helping bring democracy back to Westminster

Can we send Bercow a “I love grilling Gammon” sticker for the car?

Our favourite bit is the ‘highest regard and affection’ he has for the gentleman. Yes, you can hear it in every word Bercow says.
To conclude …
The best of British eloquence on show in the heat of Parliament debate #Brexit https://t.co/V9CRfRnc13
