About John Bercow

John Simon Bercow MP (/ˈbɜːkəʊ/; born 19 January 1963) is a British former politician who was Speaker of the House of Commons from 2009 to 2019, and Member of Parliament (MP) for Buckingham between 1997 and 2019. A member of the Conservative Party prior to becoming Speaker, he was the first MP since Selwyn Lloyd in 1971 to be elected Speaker without having been a Deputy Speaker. After resigning as Speaker in 2019 and opting not to seek re-election as MP for Buckingham in the 2019 general election, Bercow left Parliament. In 2021, he joined the Labour Party but was suspended in 2022. He was banned for life from the parliamentary estate in March 2022 for misconduct, including bullying, by an Independent Expert Panel upholding the conclusions of a report from Kathryn Stone, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Bercow continued to deny the veracity of the official findings.
