EU-LOVING John Bercow is set to become the first Commons Speaker to have his peerage blocked in 230 years.
Ministers are said to have moved to punish him for “bias” during Brexit debates.
Speakers are normally offered a Lords seat when they leave their post — although it must be approved by No10.
But Theresa May is not expected to allow him the honour when he goes.
It comes after she accused Mr Bercow, 55, of having “torn up the rulebook” by siding with pro-EU MPs to help Parliament seize control of Brexit last week.
A Cabinet source told The Times: “I’m sure we’ll be thinking carefully about which individuals we would choose to elevate to the House of Lords.
“I can’t imagine we would look favourably on those who’ve cheated centuries of procedure.”
Mr Bercow also faces losing his seat after it emerged his local Tory association has begun looking to replace him.

The chairman of the Buckingham association, Cllr Clive Harriss, will today meet the Conservative Party’s candidate selection head. Cllr Harriss said: “We’ve started to put feelers out.” Meanwhile the beleaguered Speaker has been branded “European of the Week” by the continental media — underlining his anti-Brexit credentials.
Dutch, German and French media outlets have portrayed him as a hero, with videos going viral on social media. Radio France Internationale praised him for allowing MPs to table an amendment that “thwarted the strategy” of the Government.
The Sun Says
In case there was any doubt about the nauseating Remain bias of Commons Speaker John Bercow, his new accolade extinguishes it.
The continental Press have named the pompous little toad “European of the Week”. How proud he must be.
Let’s hope his local Tories speed up their plans to oust him as an MP.
He is not the gatekeeper of our democracy. He violates it.
