52% of the voting public hate him (well probably 49% after the oldest Brexidiots have died). Not a good start. He'd be less popular than Corbyn.

Actually he was refused a lordship on the basis of perverting parliamentary procedure, exhibiting bias in a supposedly neutral role and in the words of one MP being "an insufferable twat", among other things. .

He didn't get a peerage as direct revenge from the Tories for holding them to account.
He's clearly far too moderate to lead Labour though.
His joining Labour is a bonus for the Tories, not least because it puts Starmer in an impossible situation.

The Speaker is supposed to relinquish party politics from their appointment on, hence they are crossbench (i.e. not party affiliates) in the Lords. Bercow breaks that convention on several levels and is the first ex-speaker not to reach the Lords. The thought of him as a leader of anything is imply ludicrous. But then again, so is the current edition of the Labour party

Bercow always seemed too full of his own importance to me. No humility = questionable integrity (in my opinion).

Tory pensions minister Guy Opperman said: "Labour are welcome to Bercow."
