Bercow got mauled for standing up for parliament, but ultimately if the house didn't want him to do it, the amendments and motions he selected would have fallen.
He was criticized for breaking convention, when in fact we should treasure his actions as new precedents to be heeded in the future. I hope @LindsayHoyle_MP is having a long think about he might handle a similarly hung parliament.
If he'd done what he did to a PM with a majority, he'd have looked stupid as the government would have just voted everything down.
Quote tweet this with an explanation why this form of query has become a thing, even though it means no one can really see all the responses and asking people to retweet and reply would make much more sense.
