Confessions of a Speaker's Wife
Posted by Greg Leader Cramer

Some shocking confessions there from a would-be MP…she confesses to being both a member of the Young Conservatives AND an advertising executive. Either one of those should pretty much disqualify her from holding any sort of public office, in my view. At least all the drinking and shagging will mean she will have no trouble fitting in at Westminster, should she make it that far.
Perhaps she will, like her husband, embark on her own political journey, except this time in reverse…from New Labour identikit class war/equality warrior to genteel Lady Bercow of the Shire. Give it time…and a few years ensconced in a grace and favour apartment and, who knows? But let’s not damn her for sins not yet committed...unlike her damning of Cameron for potentially sending his kids to private school, like that is a crime in the first place.
I suppose her noteriety will earn her some votes out of some Jordan-esque misguided sense of feminist solidarity. She will doubtless horrify the Labour Party rank and file...a Jonny come lately urban champagne socialist as far removed from the labour movement as it is possible to be. If Mrs Bercow represents the future of the Labour Party, they have bigger problems than we ever thought.
