Why is the Speaker in a bad mood?

The Speaker and prime minister really "do not like each other at all" said Bobby Friedman, who has written a biography of John Bercow.

The journalist spoke to Jo Coburn - and MPs Paul Scully and Anna Turley - about his relations with other MPs and why some Conservative MPs have tried to unseat him, although some think he does a good job.

They looked at the Speaker's veiled criticism of China and other recent interventions in controversial political issues, in his final years in the job as he has said he will stand down before 2019.
