John Bercow contributes to the public contempt of the Commons

On Daily Politics earlier today Isobel Hardman said that Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow contributes to the public contempt of the Commons through the way he ridicules and sneers at MPs.

I immediately thought of his deliberately exaggerated pronunciation of the name Selous - "Sea-louse".

It is a poor state of affairs when the Speaker undermines the very institution he is employed to defend.
