Consider removing John Bercow from office for outspoken comments about Trump

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Commons Speaker John Bercow should be ousted after his outspoken comments about Donald Trump. Bercow stood up in parliament for two and a half minutes explaining to MPs why he would oppose any proposal to invite Donald Trump to address parliament. This undermines his supposedly neutral role.
