Final 'Or-derrrs': British House of Commons Speaker John Bercow bows out
The speaker of Britain’s House of Commons, who has become a global celebrity and online meme-magnet for his loud ties, even louder voice and star turn at the center of Britain’s Brexit drama, stepped down Thursday after 10 years in the job.

You can see that with how he stands up to government.
