I think he's the Westminster system equivalent to a Parliamentarian. That's the rules man in our system.

Speaker of the House is meant to act non partisan and make sure things are discussed properly.

John Bercow is the best part of British politics.

MPs have rejected a proposal to examine Boris Johnson's Brexit bill in the Commons in three days.

The Commons supported the Withdrawal Agreement Bill earlier, but have now voted against the short timetable.

Earlier, the PM warned he would seek an election if MPs dismissed the plan and the EU granted an extension to 31 October Brexit deadline.

After the vote, he told the Commons he would "pause" the legislation until the EU had "stated their intentions".

Probably had a little bit of an effect, growth was sluggish before the 2016 referendum and remained so afterwards. I'm sure you can find reports from EU funded think tanks showing that all this sluggishness is down to Brexit, but I think they're over-egging it. The UK remains a desirable place for inward investment, especially in tech start-ups.

Germany is the biggest loser, the uncertainty seems to have really hurt its export industries. Netherlands probably gained the most as some orgs relocated from UK to Amsterdam. France and Italy remain basket cases - for reasons nothing to do with Brexit. The fall in sterling really made my holiday to the US expensive, but I still enjoyed it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
