Maybe not ideal ifyou want a bowling green lawn (don't see many of them around here) - but if you want it gone I should imagine any broad leaf lawn weed killer would sort it out?
Germander speedwell seems to like the drier, compacted bits of my lawn (i.e. most of it) where the grass struggles. I would work on your lawn to improve the conditions for grass, rather than completely eliminate the speedwell, which is extremely pretty and certainly nicer than sparse grass with the earth showing. Aerate, scarify, reseed etc. (These are autumn jobs). The aim being more grass and less speedwell, rather than a total grass monoculture.
Personally I am happy with mat forming wildflowers in my lawn though, and just let them get on with it. I've got daisies, speedwell, tormentil, clover etc. I feel loathe to mow the lawn sometimes, and lose the flowers, but these plants are well suited to being sheared every week.

I've got some in my lawn, it's very petty.
In the sticks near Peterborough
Lawns with interlopers are far more interesting than a monoculture.

What you all mean is - you can't get rid of it anyway so put up with the nice pretty flower!!!
