Former Commons speaker defects to Labour party

The former speaker said the country is sick of lies under Prime Minister Boris Johnson, adding that the Conservative Party under Johnson was reactionary, populist, nationalistic and sometimes even xenophobic.

Bercow, who stepped down as speaker in October 2019 after ten years, said he joined the Labour Party a few weeks ago because he shared its values particularly its support for equality, social justice and internationalism.

He however insisted that his decision was not personal against Boris Johnson.
