The Speaker's first duty is to defend Parliament, not to defend the government of the day. John Bercow has done a good job fulfilling this role, which is why he has not been popular with the last Leader of the House, Andrea Leadsom, or any of her ultra-brexit friends. I think he will prove himself well able to stand up to Jacob Rees Mogg.
