John Bercow - Unspeakable

Unspeakable is John Bercow's characteristically forthright and incisive account of his unique vantage point into British politics. Containing verdicts on many of the leading figures of this era, from Tony Blair to David Cameron, Theresa May, and Boris Johnson, Bercow explores and explains the ways in which he has sought to democratise the business of Parliament, using the Speakership to champion the rights of backbench MPs and hold the government to account. In his own words, ‘I made friends and enemies alike, but from start to finish I sought to do the right, rather than the convenient, thing and to be a decent public servant’.
