He conducts his duties in the house with a sort of arrogance and rather too much showmanship. It's like the John Bercow show sometimes. I shan't be losing much sleep over his fate...

He’s very entertaining, though.

Who do they think he's biased against? Its certainly not the government and I dont think any on that side of the house are at all interested in the other side so they wont worry if he's biased against Labour or SNP or even Lib Dems .Which he often is .

Such is the anger with the Speaker at senior levels of government, it has been suggested he could be blocked from getting a peerage when he retires.

Ministers are furious at what they see as John Bercow's "bias" during Commons debates on Brexit.

The move would break a tradition dating back 230 years, that former Commons Speakers are automatically offered a seat in the House of Lords.
