Bercow bully claims denial

ACCUSATIONS of bullying in Parliament will be probed amid abuse claims against Speaker John Bercow, says Downing Street.

Mr Bercow “refutes the allegation he behaved in such a manner”.

Tory MP Mark Pritchard and Labour’s Paul Farrelly denied claims in the BBC Newsnight probe.

Parliamentary staff said they worked in a “culture of fear” and one said she was forced to leave her job after being shouted at.

No10 said complaints would be investigated.
