This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do to "reaffirm" that the role of the Speaker is impartial.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
