This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There is no mechanism for the removal of a Speaker during a Parliament. Other than at a general election, the Speaker can only stop being Speaker through resignation or death.

The House of Commons could debate the resignation of the Speaker.

If you would like there to be rules about which MPs are eligible to stand to be Speaker, to exclude MPs from certain parties, you could start a petition about that.
