How would you outline bullying? Maybe it entails aggression or intimidation? Or maybe bullying may embrace name-calling or the use derogatory language? However based on Labour’s would-be deputy Daybreak Butler, bullying goes fairly a bit additional than that.
Throughout an interview with Sky’s Sophy Ridge this morning, Butler advised the presenter that she thought the Tories had been ‘bullying’ John Bercow by denying him a seat within the Home of Lords. The previous Speaker is himself presently subject to a number of allegations of office bullying, allegations that he denies. Butler advised the present:
‘It’s the norm that the Speaker of the Home is all the time given a peerage, so I feel the primary query for me is why hasn’t he been given a peerage from the Conservatives?
‘I wish to know the explanation why he wasn’t given a peerage. I believe it’s truly do to with Brexit somewhat than the rest.’
…
‘You actually do have to ask the Conservatives, why is it that you just haven’t, like everyone else, ensured that the Speaker of the Home is given a peerage. In any other case, I feel that’s a type of bullying too.’
The Labour MP insisted that ‘due course of’ takes place in respect of the allegations in opposition to Mr Bercow. And Mr S would clearly agree. However certainly withholding a peerage in order that these allegations might be correctly investigated is the very definition of due course of somewhat than a type of persecution in itself?
