John Bercow has promised “creativity” in Parliament if Boris Johnson ignores the commons motion designed to stop a no-deal Brexit. Bercow also doubled down in his speech saying that the only possible Brexit was one backed by MPs. He was immediately accused of destroying the office of Speaker with such blatant bias.

 Bercow’s comments, Tory Brexiter MP Sir Bernard Jenkin said the role of the Speaker had become “irretrievably politicised and radicalised”.

Delivering a lecture in London, Mr Bercow said:

“Not obeying the law must surely be a non-starter. Period. It would be a terrible example to set to the rest of society’

The only form of Brexit which we will have, whenever that might be, will be a Brexit that the House of Commons has explicitly endorsed

Surely, in 2019, in modern Britain, in a parliamentary democracy, we – parliamentarians, legislators – cannot in all conscience be conducting a debate as to whether adherence to the law is or isn’t required. It is astonishing that anyone has even entertained the notion

If the government comes close to disobeying the law Parliament would want to cut off such a possibility and do so forcefully. One should no more refuse to request an extension of Article 50 because of what one might regard as the noble end of departing from the EU as soon as possible, than one could possibly excuse robbing a bank on the basis that the cash stolen would be donated to a charitable cause immediately afterwards.

If that demands additional procedural creativity in order to come to pass, it is a racing certainty that this will happen, and that neither the limitations of the existing rule book nor the ticking of the clock will stop it doing so.”

The new law could force a Brexit delay beyond the current 31 October deadline by requiring the prime minister to request an extension to the UK’s EU membership.

This would be done by making him write to EU leaders to prolong talks under Article 50 – the part of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty which sets out what happens when a country decides that it wants to leave the EU.

Another Leave-voting Conservative MP, Michael Fabricant, said Mr Bercow had brought the office of Speaker into disrepute while Parliament is not due to return until the 14th of October.
