John Bercow
In the UK, John Bercow has said he will stand down as Commons Speaker and Member of Parliament at the next election or on October 31, whichever comes first.
The ex-Tory MP succeeded the late Michael Martin as Speaker in 2009.
He has faced fierce criticism from Brexiteers, who have questioned his impartiality on the issue of Europe and claim he has facilitated efforts by MPs opposed to a no-deal exit to take control of Commons business.
He has also been criticised for not doing more to tackle allegations of bullying and harassment in the House of Commons.
Mr. Bercow himself has been accused of mistreating several members of his own staff, which he denies.
