Former U.K. House of Commons Speaker John Bercow is a “serial bully” who should never again be granted an access pass to Parliament, a standards panel concluded Tuesday.
The independent expert panel upheld earlier findings by Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards Kathryn Stone that Bercow had bullied members of his staff. It said he should never be granted a parliamentary pass, which gives access to the building for lawmakers, staff and journalists, and that if he was still a member of Parliament he would have been expelled.
