John Bercow's Office : Rumours Absolutely Untrue
Guido called and got an "absolutely untrue" response from John Bercow's office about rumours that he will cross the floor tomorrow. Of course if you were about to cross the floor you would hardly broadcast it...
Guido and the Monkey interviewed Bercow for one of our infamous pubcasts last year and he was effusive in praise of Dave, and damning of Gordon. Relevant is his total avowal of any interest in any other party than the Tories. Hear the interview here.
UPDATE : Some are pointing to this speech last week by Bercow, formerly an avowed Euro-sceptic, with particular interest.

Perhaps you should have asked the man himself - he wont have told his office, unless it was empty at the time!
far too good to be true, surely?
guido
you do appear to be a bit slow these days. was it Newsnight?
So who the fuck is it then?
If it's Ken Clarke I'll be DELIGHTED!
" avowal"
Should that no' be "disavowal"
If he's denying it does it no' mean he is another yin?
Does anyone know if International diplomats enjoy diplomatic imunity in their OWN country?
Presumably Blair's new job is an "official" international diplomat?
This issue may already have come up on this blog - but I've been too busy putting me flags up.

tone: No, diplomats can still be prosecuted under the laws of their own country, and home countries may even waive diplomatic rights in some cases. But if you are thinking about whether this will forestall anything under the CforP investigation, if the CPS wouldn't go after Blair while he was PM, then they would hardly go after him when he was on a mission from God, the Pope and GW Bush to save the world from itself. Plus his US sponsors want to keep him out of trouble at least until after the 2008 US presidential election.

-thanks
So becoming an "International Diplomat" won't give Tone a sort of stateless status - with an "international" passport not a British one?
ie immune to prosecution everywhere in the world?
If this were the case, Inspector Yates would have to nab him on the way from The Palace to where ever it is one goes to to be swown in as an "International Diplomat".
I'm having a rather nice vision of a roadblock outside The Palace with blue flashing lights and...
oh well.
Does Blair's new role, and assoicated immunity mean he can't be done for loans for lordships?
John Bercow is a former far right Tory bootboy who has spent the last few years trying to live down his past (former secretary of the Monday Club repatriation committee, FFS!).
He's also a motor mouthed careerist whose career came to a juddering halt when, during the Tory leadership campaign, he publicly slagged off Cameron for "Eton, hunting, shooting and lunch at Whites."
Now Bercow has been cast into outer darkness and has no hope of a job under the current Tory leadership. Even by the standards of Westminster, he is desperately ambitious. If Brown offers him a ministerial job, Mr John Bercow will cross the floor of the House faster than you can say 'rat'.
He seemed to have his head down - avoiding the gaze of the camera in PMQ.
Never mind that two faced little bitch Bercow.....
THE KING IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!
Total denial, he's going then!
Ummm I think his wife might have something to do with softened views.
Isnt this the gay loving dwarf who married a female communist twice his height?
I hope he goes , one more nail in the coffin of the Cameron Conservative party , he cant keep old school huntin shootin & low tax types and now it seems he cant keep gender bending wets.
If only we had another Norman Tebbit waiting in the wings , only more right wing.

Hitch - what's happened to your Blog, you daft twat! WE miss it.
Even by the standards of Westminster, he is desperately ambitious
He could join the Secret Police...it's how Himmler got his start.....and Fouche...and Dzerzhinsky
The Hitch is alive and well
and is as mad as ever ,but we like him.

I saw Gordon Brown pick his nose again today at PMQS, the dirty bastard.
Also, it nearly killed him to join in the standing ovation for Bliar.
The man is vile!!
Bliar is now a just an MP ,Mr Yates where are you?
I have often noticed that in summer, people occasionally wave their hands around trying to shoo off flies. It never ceases to amaze me that I have yet to see John Bercow, trying to chase off a persistent fly or other similarly small winged creature in the commons. This makes me wonder if he is really human or has somehow been taken over by some hitherto unknown force.
he will certainly defect, having read that.
McStalin in now PM, god help us.
If Bercow has dropped his euroscepticism, then that's the last little thing that classes him as a Tory.
Piss off back to your dominatrix you turd.
"*Whippish!* Pussy-whipped unprincipled wanker.
Forgive me asking how many countries do we have in Great Britian ,Brown say's he's be given the chance to serve his country ,which country will he serve ,Scotland,England ,Wales.
Did you se Brown entering No. !)? He was a nervous , stuttering wreak, his voice cracking, didn't know where to move, uncordinated, hesitant and a complete disaster!!!!!
Brown's already a nervous wreck!!!!! BBC News 24 NOW!
What tosh - we watched it and thought he was scarily powerful and in command.
Very very interesting comments. Come on Guido - work feverishly on what he is hinting at on change. Does he mean individuals in Govt? Or more systemic changes?
Bercow - EU has created "a vast new raft of jobs". For sure, in the red tape and regulation and meddling industries.
Westminster whispers confirm Bercow's defection plans...
3:09:
Anonymong talks utter bullshit to make himself look and feel important.
The author of courage appeared to be, ahem, bricking it. Oh dear! His body appears to be out of sync with his brain or somesuch autonomic problem, bye bye votes!
HIs nervous smile reminds one of Richard NIxon.
There are times when we need lots of anon posters and whisperers ... very interesting if the Bercow story is true. Although ambitious (etc. etc.) he has been fairly senior. It won't look good for Cameron if he jumps ship.
painful to watch
Brown Rabbit in the headlights
What matters is whether Brown can persuade people that susbtance is more important than spin.
He was authoritative - he has immense gravitas and stature. Watched it with others (not Labour) and we all thought the same.
Bercow sneaked an appearance on the TV coverage of PMQs and looked like he was wrestling with his conscience..
"Bercow ... looked like he was wrestling with his conscience."
What's that look like then? (It's not something I find myself doing very often.)
'What matters is whether Brown can persuade people that susbtance is more important than spin.'
Well I gues you have to try and make a virtue out of a pretty appalling necessity.
'He was authoritative - he has immense gravitas and stature. '
I think you must have forgotten how to PERCEIVE correctly. It was shambolic, even Nick Robinson had to concede as much.
There will be more Tories in the Labour party than under Dave soon.
Wonder what that will do to Labour's credibility with the working classes.
Dear Mr Vulva
let us not be too harsh on the wee chap , who amongst us (males) can hand on heart say that at some time in our sordid lives we havent suffered from that well known syndrome "Dick over brain" ?
The Hitch's member has landed him in many scrapes over the years.
Having said that he is my best pal and life wouldn't be worth living without him.
You could be in the depths of despair in a foreign jail or freezing to death halfway up a mountain but you always have mr happy to cheer you up whilst you knock one out to thoughts of a particularly filthy Ex girlfriend.
Mine deserves a knighthood , it wouldnt be the first time a woman came at him with a sharp implement.
Let me qualify the above
"wee chap" refers to Bercow, not The Hitch's penis which is by know means "wee"
Off topic:
Guido - books arrived this morning. Thank you. Mwaaah, mwaaah.

maybe he could try a splashdown on it

"........looked like he was wrestling with his conscience.."
Presumably, like most politicians, he won.
Brown was nervy and fidgeting during PMQ's and later on he was visibly shitting himself. His sppeech was just an embarrassment.
The scheming sociopathic turd is a bag of nerves and palpably unfit for the role of PM.
He will embarrass and disgrace his office and will make this country a laughing stock. The French are already pissing themselves at le Grand Bogey-Picker and so are the Germans.
How long before repressed, neurotic Gay Gordo cracks up on the job?
If Bercow does jump, he'll be the first Labour M.P. for Buckingham since Robert Maxwell.
Anyone own a yacht?
Bercow is and always has been a fucking poison dwarf, I suspect he's a fucking shirt lifter too. I hope the little cunt gets what's due him asap.
I see Ken is arse-licking like mad...
But Mr Livingstone said: "As chancellor Gordon Brown played a decisive role in restarting public investment in London after decades of neglect.
"Without the investment we have seen, London would not be able to sustain the huge success it is currently enjoying, and I am sure that as prime minister Gordon Brown will develop this further.
"I particularly look forward to working with Gordon Brown and his government on the key projects for London of the Olympics, more affordable housing and Crossrail."
Gordo, of course, despises Leninspart and doesn't care too much for his wild schemes that have seen an annual £750m subsidy going into the buses and the promise of more into the mad west london tram scheme. No wonder Lenin is suddenly willing to can the tram (and with it a wasted £40m)...
Not the first time Bercow's had a wobble.

I really can't understand why local Tory selection boards don't weed out these sort of potential defectors.
Bercow is Quentin Davies' bum boy. Official.
