Who will be Speaker?

[grondfic]

A rather tantalising (if putative at the moment) prospect may be on the cards, should John Bercow decide to stick by his avowed intent to give up the Speakership after 9 years (which would be in 2018). The bookies have 2 main favourites, as outlined here (from The Fail - sorry):

There's also this local view of the matter:

The current senior Deputy Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, is a distant third in the betting.

But then again, John Bercow may decide to stay put....
