LONDON (Reuters) -John Bercow, the former speaker of Britain's House of Commons lower house of parliament, will be banned for life from holding a parliamentary pass after an independent panel found he was a "serial bully" of his employees.

Bercow, whose shouts of "order, order" won him fame around the globe during years of parliamentary struggles over Brexit, was found to have repeatedly bullied his staff with "behaviour which had no place in any workplace", the Independent Expert Panel said on Tuesday.
