[Kizzy]

modern Speaker is politically impartial and expected to avoid taking a political stance or favouring particular interests over others. To ensure this, the Speaker is expected to resign from their party on appointment*and do not campaign in general elections – usually standing unopposed by the major political parties. However, they are still a serving MP and undertake constituency work.

The role of the Speaker is almost as old as Parliament itself and has evolved significantly over time. Originally the Speaker was the monarch’s de facto representative in Parliament. From the 18th*century onwards, the Speaker gained greater independence, beginning to represent the collective voice of Parliament.

Right, so explain to me what the speaker has done that would would suggest he is not impartial? His job as representative is to speak for the collective in the commons. ..he is, so where's the problem.
