Commons Speaker John Bercow to stand down
John Bercow says he will stand down as Commons Speaker at the next election or on 31 October, whichever comes first.
Speaking in Parliament, Mr Bercow said his 10-year "tenure" was nearing its end and it had been the "greatest honour and privilege" to serve.
If there was no early election, he said leaving on 31 October would be the "least disruptive and most democratic" time to go.
