Remove Speaker Berkow from his position.
Speaker Beskow today stated that he would do everything within his power to ensure that President Trump was not permitted to speak in front of parliament during his state visit to the UK. This is a direct breach of his duties as speaker as he is supposed to remain politically impartial at all times.

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.
If you like, you could sign the petition below, which asks the House of Commons to debate a vote of no confidence in the Speaker:
