Former British House of Commons Speaker John Bercow is moving from the Conservative Party to the Labor Party, Britain’s Guardian newspaper reports. His move was accompanied by a fierce attack on the current Prime Minister, Boris Johnson. Bercow was famous for the striking way he shouted “It’s up, orrrrr-duh-rrrrrr.”
According to Bercow, conservatives have become “reactionary, populist, and sometimes xenophobic,” he said in an interview with the Observer. Bercow resigned in 2019 after serving as Speaker of the House for 10 years. He says he went to the Labor Party a few weeks ago because he sees the party as the only way to get the current government out.
