Surely only regarding parliamentary procedures, I would have thought it was for the Judiciary to decide if the Government follows the Law.
John Bercow.

Think there's a semantic in there though. But to flip it, if he knew there was an Act of Parliament involved and the govt were ignoring it do you think its right for him to let them carry?

I dont think its his constitutional right to be involved unless it affects the procedure of parliament.

I guess this could be bluster.

That is a Guardian editorial, not a statement from Downing Street. Can you show proof where Downing street has issued a statement agreeing with that link.

Just as well he's gone and no further risk to democracy.

No surprise GF having a go at Bercow! 'He' has been doing that ad nauseum for a long time!
The difference is that Bercow was 'accountable', whereas GF isn't!
Of course, SOME of the criticism could well be justified - but that (Bercow's prerogative to ignore advice) i's the way our democracy works! The problem I see is that neither major party wants to change the process, as that would mean creating a more open 'democracy' that would highlight some of their machnations/dirty dealing!
