Watch: John Bercow’s ‘women problem’

Although the Serjeant-at-Arms Kamal El-Hajji has dismissed bullying allegations against John Bercow as a ‘witch hunt’, the Speaker’s problems are not going away anytime soon. Claire Perry, the climate change minister, has today accused Bercow of ‘sexist and demeaning’ behaviour – accusing him of having a ‘women problem’.

This video shows the incident Perry is referring to. In it, Bercow bizarrely refers to dilation.

How long can Bercow hang on?
