What the petition asks
Recent comments alledged to have been made by John Bercow including his referring to another MP as “a stupid woman” have totally undermined his role as Speaker of the House of Commons and the office he represents.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes petitions asking for people to be removed from their job.
