When John Bercow accepted the post of "Speaker of the House of Commons" he knew he was expected to be totally impartial and unpolitical in everything he did or said in that function !
This means that as Speaker, although he was an elected MP, he accepted he was no longer permitted to express political opinions to sway issues nor to have personal preferences while performing his new function !
These "Golden Rules" have been blatantly infringed even when he has managed to dig into History to find a precedent to support what he wants to do ! The way he treated Prime Minister Theresa May over the delicate BREXIT issue is totally unforgivable !
It is obvious that his function as Speaker should be ended. He has been acting like a "smug Dictator" ! The House of Commons should perhaps vote to dismiss him from the House for a certain period of time, or to the next General Election. He could be replaced by his Deputy Speaker.
The way Bercow has behaved should not be allowed become a "Precedent" in any way for future Speakers.
