A debate on whether to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, brought the UK parliament into disarray — with the Speaker of the House now accused of ‘party politics’.
Nearly 60 MPs are calling on Speaker Lindsay Hoyle to quit for his handling of the parliamentary session.
The Scottish National Party, which had tabled the motion, and the Conservative government have both condemned him for selecting the Labour party’s amendment.
They accuse the Speaker of trying to avoid internal divisions within the Labour party — despite his duty of impartiality.

Should hamas remain in power?
Yawn. Please change that record.
@@roughwalkersWhy do you ignore the thousands of women and children that are being killed?
@@tauhidahmed9985 Again? Dodging the question and yet it strange because for some reason you assume i stand with Israel?
I support neither side HENCE the question
I.mean i dont dodge questions like you so il answer very easily
Since hamas carried out terrorist attacks on women and children i mean we have all seen the videos including the video where hamas steal aid, using children as human shields whilst arming them
Its a war crime to arm children
So see that was easy
Your turn
@@roughwalkersShould Netanyahu stay in power?
People of Gaza Palestine we are trying in the UK. We support you and see you ✨️🇵🇸✊️
The most disgusted race on earth.. the zionist jews… even the jews hates them…
Any government that supports Israel is complicit on the slaughter of innocent children and women 👎
It’s Keir Starmer and the Labour Party being two-faced as per normal.
Israeli nw control UK Parliament, lol
I thought they were going to debate arab terrorist state of yemen attacking british civilian shipping in the red sea?
You’re really still talking after all you know? Amazing… the denial of facts is astonishing
So true, tens of thousands have been killed but that’s not a big issue, what matters is a transport lane blockade that started in protest to our support of those thousands of killings.
Reacting to that but not a genocide absolutely wouldn’t show us to be hypocrites, right?
Would never happened if the Westminster Government had not bombed them they where only stopping Apartheid Israel ships now UK shipping is fair game
What a shekel gobbler Hoyle is
Because he’s a Zionist
King chucky has cancer and probably is not gonna remain king much longer. After chucky leaves king billy will take over. King billy will oversee the ending of the church of england being the official religion of Britain and islam replacing the church of England as the official religion. Then MK’s can live happy lives as dhimmis under their Islamic masters. And Allah will be he happy.
Kick him out no resignation.
The Tories wet and dry and indifferent are an absolute disgrace. They vote and support this incompetant govt to continue in office instead of bringing down and fresh election called.
Labour are not at fault, but the oppn motions should have been allowed.
We need a vote of No confidence in the govt and end this sorry saga of a govt out of ideas and out of touch limping on while the country goes down the plug hole.
This sort of fracas should only happen in banana republics not in the mother of all parliaments.
Another Zionist lapdog in UK Goverment, is the US and the UK represent their own people. Do they represent Israel interest above their own?
Starmer’s instalment as leader was part of a zionist coup to take control of the Labour Party. It was brazenly and openly stated that Israel was the reason Corbyn was replaced. They are now the Zionist Party.
This genocide has stunlocked a lot of the western ‘democracies’. They can’t speak truthfully about it as they’re almost as deep in the blood as the zionists, but lying about it is so difficult because of how obvious what is happening is that it is turning them inside out.
The US, UK, & Germany, are out of step and continues to impede International law. The US government just displayed to the world an extreme level of incoherence. The mask was pretty much off. The US pretends to be for two States and against the occupation and settler violence, but utterly pleaded to prolong over five decades of occupation, apartheid, and continued atrocities
Sir Kid Starver will not be getting my vote at the general election this year.
It just shows that the arab countries are weak and reliant on the us israel to survive, really sad. Everything dependant on the west, really3 sad
Resign and go to bed
Two things that annoy me about news reports, within the first minute: 1/ We understand what the number ’59’ means – It’s not a clarification to call it ‘nearly 60’; 2/ Let your parliamentary correspondent go somewhere indoors – we know what parliament looks like!
words are words, nothing more than words. Take action and stop these wars. 🇧🇷🏳️
Kier starmer says he urged the speaker to back his motion thwarting the call for a ceasefire !
*UK🇬🇧 still occupied Anguilla, Bermuda, Virgin, Cayman, Falkland, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Pitcairn, Saint Helena, Ascension, Tristan da Cunha, South Georgia & South Sandwich, Akrotiri & Dhekelia, Turks & Caicos.*
end occupation & keep pece!
You forgot Scotland, Wales and NI.
Falklands have been allowed to vote and they voted to stay British.
@@user-nj1qu1cs7s and Isles Of Man.
Entire front bench of Labour should resign, and The Speaker with them we need a true Left Wing Party in this Country.
George Galloway is the man. If he fields candidates in my area, I’ll go for the Workers Party.
Al Jazeera terrorists
A Westminster speaker that’s had a all paid for vist to Apartheid Israel should tell you what’s going on
Hoyle’s a liar he has no concern for MPs or he wouldn’t have allowed the Labour party to Hijack the vote/motion. Because his decision has made it more likely that an MP will be attacked.
The SNP have only 3 opposition day debates per parliamentary seesion whilst Labour have 17.
What Hoyle did yesterday was to allow Labour to hijack one of the SNP opposition day debates in order to help Starmer, the Labour leader, save face as it is rumoured that up to 100 Labour MP’s were planning to support the SNP motion.
Yes. To help Starmer and to help Israel, because even tho both motions were for a ceasefire. Labour’s ‘humanitarian’ ceasefire avoided Israel all responsibility and removed collective punishment in the language. The house of the speaker and Starmer should be personally investigated into their dealing with Israel.
@@BillY-tw8xc Starmer’s behaviour around his “protect and defend Israel at all costs” approach to what to do with regards the genocide currently being carried out by Israel is beyond the pale.
Starmer is clearly an out and out total control freak and he is determined to do nothing that will upset his Israeli controllers/financiers of the Labour party.
This was an attempt by Starmer (who is pro-Israel) to muddy the waters. The SNP motion condemned the ‘collective punishment’ of Palestinians – and Britain is arming the Israeli’s and there would have been demands for this to stop. The Tories and Labour are united on trying to blunt criticism of Israel which the British State regards as an ally.
Yes. They all need to go. Totally corrupt.
And now we know who truly owns your democracy…the same little hat brigade that own the US congress…
*Regarding Harry’s Second Response to the Anchor’s Question* Harry made it unnecessarily complex. The correct answer is disaffected members of the Labor party were about to vote with SNP for an unconditional ceasefire. To stop this, the Speaker of the House of Commons broke parliamentary rules.
There are Hamas apologists in Parliament, just like at Al Jazeera!
A Zionist hoax from him to empty the voting of its content and give an opportunity to the criminal Israeli occupation and evidence that Israel is a criminal terrorist racist occupation An aggressor against the Palestinians, photos, videos and proven evidence It affirms that Israel is a criminal who works with the help and protection of Britain against the Palestinians and against humanity and against international laws and legitimacy
Savour this moment one of the few if only times you will hear somebody in the house of commons admit to and apologise for a mistake .
He cares more about the NOTIONAL killing of his “friends” than he does about the ACTUAL killing of 30,000 Palestinians. Wow!
The only thing Keir Starmer cares about is his own political power. Under him, thr Labour party gas morphed into its own antithesis and brtrayed its longtime constituents in a manner the American political parties can only dream of.
Labour friends of Israel brought me here.
And the Tory Friends of Israel is keeping him there…
No voting.
nothing but incapable people at the highest positions in UK
A man of courage is appreciated according to his judgment,
and a deceitful heart is despised.
As the speaker all the government and opposition needs to go.
Shame on them all.
No humanity
Banana Republic! 😂😂
You misunderstand the situation. He cut the Scots out, when it was their time to put forward a motion, giving the slot to Labour (who had had their Opposition Day). Labour have repeatedly stalled a ceasefire, their words are not so straightforward but they have backed Netanyahu with the Govt. The SLP aimed to say The UK govt calls for a ceasefire. The Speaker, who recently visited the massacre sight in Israel (addressing the camera distressed for the victims) would easily be tripped into an untenable position. His own clerks warned him this was very risky. In football terms he kicked the urgent ceasefire call to the side of the goalpost. Starmer wants Israel to finish destroying Hamas. The problem is how many more innocent Palestinians will die in that process. The Speaker holds an Office, personal views are not part of that. He has scuppered the chance to call for an urgent ceasefire, because the main parties are aligned to ‘rout Hamas’ first. This is not a mishap, he should announce his ‘retirement’ at least. The UK public desperately want a ceasefire, they are back to massive but censored protests.
Thank-you for explaining this so well. It seems like journalists are not up to it.
@katej3z715
Thanks for this context. I found the journalist’s context informative and with yours alongside it, I have a bigger picture of what has happened and am much more well informed. I’m from Australia and watched a couple of reports last night but still didn’t fully get it. Between you and the journalist, now I do. Thanks.
Hoyle sabotaged proceedings to help Starmer and Israel. Starmer’s motion avoid Israel any responsibility of what’s happened in Gaza. Disgusting behavior from Starmer and the speaker
Where is your information coming from that the UK public “desperately want a ceasefire” ?
@@Helvetica247shaaarap you ian huntly…fan
AFTER USA IT SEEMS UK POLITICS HAS BEEN DEVOURED BY ISRAELI LOBBIES.
Politricks!!
HES CORRUPT with the Zionist lobby
It’s only a matter of time before the Just Stop Hoyle campaign gains momentum and Hoyle is Hoyled Off to the Back Benches.
No way it’s raining in london..
Norhing is gonna happen, its all backed up by Israel
Lindsay Hoyle’s comments are disgusting. He is simply trying to cover himself for the chaos he knowingly caused. He must resign.
He needs to be sacked together with Starmer, they literally fiddled the rules live on tv… All because they need to bide by the instructions their Zionist masters dictated to them…
Boot him out
He should resign. Absolutely disgraceful.
30,000 Palestinians dead.
God save us from American and Israeli genocide.
Deuteronomy 10:18 He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. 19 And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt.
As The Empire Crumbles ….
Is this democracy?
It’s a circus 🤡 🎪
Will the SNP be given another opposition day in compensation?
So they couldn’t even allow their MPs to have a vote. Incredible democracy! That poor fellow is the escape goat
His father is the founder of one of the biggest pro-Israeli lobby Groups in Britain. This news was leaked right after he pulled this move in parliament.
I think speaker did it deliberately to support Israel and Labor party. he will survive as he has Israeli support.
Please Stop Apartheid Israel and Israeli Genocide.
And stand with humanity

O Allah, defeat the oppressors, colonials, criminals and illegal occupiers
Ameen ya Rab al alameen
The speaker claims that he was standing up to the Islamist threats to harm and kill many MPs, recieved at parliament that day. That is the real issue. MPs are not there to answer or cave into to the mob. They are there to legislate for the good of the public as a whole by means of law and due process, and to see that the country does not fall into mob rule.
Sir Keir will save his loyal Speaker! Already Sir Keir is busy quelling discontent over the Speaker’s action in favour of Sir Keir.
Keir Starmer has involvement with Isreali lobbyist so obviously he would have blackmailed the speaker, it’s not the first time and in the past he did something similar to Corbyn which is why Boris eon
Well done SNP the speaker must be kicked out of the house
Brave SNP and proud of SNP
Zianism is Real form of Government Terrorism 😡🇵🇰
No votes in Qatar as there is no freedom or democracy there
He will not be leaving as he is a strong Zionist, this action. Is like treason . The British democracy in trail.
Indigenous people are not terrorists , if they act against their own genocide.youtorywankr
