'He must go!' Nigel Farage demands Bercow's resignation over 'B***OCKS TO BREXIT' sticker
NIGEL FARAGE has called on the Speaker of the House John Bercow to resign after a car parked in his private parking place was spotted sporting a sticker reading: "b******s to Brexit, it’s not a done deal."

The staunch pro-Brexit politician slammed John Bercow following reports of an offensive sticker on the Speaker's car against Brexit.
The bright neon yellow sticker was seen on a black 4x4 in Mr Bercow's private parking space on Tuesday morning.
While the Speaker rejected any connection to the car sporting the sticker, Nigel Farage took the chance to question his suitability for the role.
The House Speaker is required to be politically impartial, with the holder of the prestigious role made to give up their party allegiance.
Mr Farage said: "Once again Bercow demeans that great office of state.
"And he does it because he’s very happy to wear his heart on his sleeve."
Speaking during his daily LBC radio show, Mr Farage said: "Well I’ll tell you what John Bercow: if you want to give us your opinions on everything having made this amazing transformation from being a hard-right Monday Club member to being where you are now, you can do so.
"But not as Speaker of the House of Commons. You’re not doing this country any good at all."
The Speaker rejected allegations about the sticker and a spokesman for Mr Bercow said: “Any suggestion to the contrary is simply untrue.”

Once again Bercow demeans that great office of state
A spokesperson for Mr Bercow’s office declined to comment when approached by Express.co.uk.
It is not the first time Mr Bercow's impartiality has come into question this week as Tory MP Andrews Bridgen ripped into the Speaker for his open remarks on Brexit.
Mr Bridgen said: "I think he’s overstepped the mark historically with regard to his open remarks with regard to Brexit when he’s going to be in the chair for a lot of sensitive debates around us leaving the European Union.
“And also his remarks about Donald Trump saying that he would ban Donald Trump from speaking in Westminster Hall.
“John Bercow is quite at liberty to hold those views privately but given his apolitical position as speaker of the House of Commons, he shouldn’t be able to trumpet them from the rooftops as he does and that’s wrong.”
