His team may have failed to win, but John Bercow still had plenty to cheer about yesterday.
The sports-mad Commons Speaker was enjoying yet another apparent freebie, watching his beloved Arsenal from the luxury of the directors’ box.
Mr Bercow, 53, has been given more than £40,000 worth of tickets and hospitality over the last three years.
Yesterday, he had prime seats at the Emirates Stadium in north London to watch Arsenal draw 1-1 with local rivals Tottenham.
