| Description | Sally Bercow, the wife of the Speaker of the House of Commons, has won a place on a list of approved Labour candidates for the next general election.
Her selection will cause disquiet among several Tory MPs who believe she will put her husband, John, a Tory MP, in an impossible situation.
The Speaker insisted he was not worried about his wife’s foray into politics and added that if he did not support her he would be considered “sexist”.
Mrs Bercow, 40, initially said she wanted to stand as a Labour councillor in Westminster next May.
However, her inclusion on the Labour parliamentary list was approved on Friday night. |
