John Bercow's A Twister

Re Rumours about Bercow wanting to cross the floor on Guido.

He always espoused euroscepticism until recently when he swapped horses on Europe, and now makes speeches praising the EU.

He was a big Portillista and fronted the daily attacks on IDS in 2003, and was guilty of gross disloyalty.

His professed euroscepticism seemed a bit puzzling at the time....now it seems like it was a ploy.

If all the europhiles cross the floor, it would help the Conservatives electorally to head off the growth of 'minor parties' which are harvesting disaffected Conservative eurosceptics.
