Synopsis

A new biography of the controversial Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, based on original interviews with more than one hundred people, including MPs from both sides of the House of Commons, Bercow's political allies, those plotting his downfall and a range of figures from his past- whether it be his tennis partner when he was a ten year old schoolboy or members of the Monday Club who knew Bercow as a rabid right-winger. As Mr Speaker continues to create controversy, Friedman examines why he is disliked by so many on the Conservative benches. It discovers the reasons behind his political conversion to the middle ground and what it says about the shift in fortunes of the Tory party.

Media Reviews
'A fascinating, well-researched study of one of the most eccentric and controversial figures to reach high office in modern times.' Michael Crick, BBC Newsnight Political Editor 'Since John became Speaker, the number of women who hit on him has gone up dramatically. I don't get jealous because more men have hit on me, too.' Sally Bercow
