Daybreak Butler: Tories ‘bullying’ Bercow by refusing him a peerage

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?
