Bercow ‘administratively suspended’ from Labour in wake of bullying report
The opposition party is currently undertaking an investigation into the former speaker’s membership.
John Bercow is administratively suspended from the Labour Party in the wake of the former Commons speaker being found to be a “serial bully”.
The PA news agency understands Mr Bercow is currently under investigation by the party, with a decision on the future of his membership to follow.
The former Conservative MP switched to Labour two years after quitting as speaker in 2019.
The suspension by Labour comes after Mr Bercow was branded a “serial liar” and banned from holding a pass to Parliament following an investigation into his conduct.
Parliament’s Independent Expert Panel (IEP) said it backed a decision by parliamentary standards commissioner Kathryn Stone to uphold 21 allegations against Mr Bercow from three complainants, all House staff at the time, relating to the period 2009 to 2014.
