John Bercow Stays With Wife After Alleged Affair With His Cousin; Angry Mom Slams Commons Speaker For Snubbing 6-Year-Old Son With Rare Disease

Commons Speaker John Bercow had the shock of his life when he learned about the affair of his wife, Sally Bercow, with his cousin, Alan Bercow, last May. 

The two individuals that could have been John's supporters betrayed him with their infidelity. The couple was on the verge of a divorce, but reality TV star Sally seemed to still find her luck after John changed her mind and decided to give their marriage another blow. Yes, Sally was granted another chance.

One of Mr. Bercow's friends told Mirror, "He is a supremely rational character, and knows it is far better for children if their parents are together.  

The friend even praised the speaker's discipline to keep his mind off of Sally when he's at work. The friend adds, "And he has phenomenal ability to compartmentalise his thoughts, so when he is at work he doesn't allow his mind to stray to Sally and the pain she has caused him."

However, the same source added that this is Sally's last chance, and if she makes the same mistake again, "the marriage is definitely a toast."

In a report from Mail Online, Sally complained that she felt "excruciatingly lonely," which prompted John to give her another chance. The couple agreed that Mr. Bercow and the children will spend Sunday evening until Thursday morning at the Commons flat while Sally remains in Battersea. However, on Thursday evening, the famil reunited in their Battersea flat to spend the weekend together.

While Mr. Bercow's family issue is starting to be resolved, he was caught in another controversy. A mother of a six-year-old boy with an ultra-rare disease slammed the Commons Speaker after he rudely dismissed MP Greg Mulholland's battle for help, Mirror reports.

Mr. Bercow felt that the MP was not straightforward with his question, and when he asked the latter to be quick. the Lib Dem protested. The two ended in a heated confrontation. 

"Don't argue the toss with the chair, Mr Mulholland. Don't shake your head, mate. I'm telling you what the position is, "the speaker said, which prompted Mr. Mulholland to walk out. The speaker did not let Mr. Mulholland to leave in peace. He said, "Leave. That's fine. We can manage without you."

Mr. Bercow's attitude was a disappointment to the family, whom Mr. Mulholland represented. Katy Brown, the mother of the child with Morquio Syndrome, wrote an open letter addressed to Mr. Bercow. In the letter, Ms. Brown said, "When you stopped Mr Mulholland, it demonstrated in an instant everything that is wrong with British politics. You wielded your power, the House guffawed and jeered, you used derogatory, mocking language," Express reports.

Ms. Brown stressed that Mr. Mulholland stood by the family for eight months of struggle to find answers and solutions to their child's condition. 

A reply was already sent to Katy as a response. It stressed that the speaker acknowledged each member's question to be important, but they could not just take the attitude of "my question is important and therefore I can be much longer." According to the letter, that is not fair to other members.
