So Speaker John Bercow has compared the idea of disobeying a potential parliamentary request to extend Article 50 to "robbing a bank".
The Speaker in the House of Commons is kind of like an umpire or referee. Their jobs is simply to facilitate the discussion. Making sure things proceed in a fair way. Normally in football we have a saying that if you're talking about the referee it means they've had a bad game. So the fact that we're constantly talking about John Bercow would tell us all we really need to know.
Of course, he's soon to step down ..but sadly it'll be this house choosing his replacement. Great. So it'll no doubt be someone following in his tradition. Or un-tradition rather.
