Bercow: Bullying claims are 'utter rubbish'

John Bercow has dismissed allegations of bullying against him while he was in office as 'total and utter rubbish'.

In an interview with Sky News, the former speaker of the House of Commons called former Black Rod David Leakey, who made the accusations in late January, 'completely and utterly ignorant'.

He also called former Leader of the Commons Andrea Leadsom 'untrustworthy'.
