Ep:4 - 100 John Bercow - Sebastian Whale

For the later period of the Brexit crisis, John Bercow became one of the most visible and powerful politicians in the UK, which is highly unusual for someone inhabiting the position of the speaker of the House of Commons and for a member of parliament who has as many detractors as they had friends. Today I speak to Sebastian Whale who has written an autobiography about the man who showed the real power that the speaker wheals in parliament and who rallied the opposition to Brexit and showing the power of parliament in the face of the executive.
