A growing number of Members of Parliament, now totaling 63, have signed an Early Day Motion expressing no confidence in Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle. The movement, initiated by MP and select committee chair Will Wragg, has seen support from both Tory and SNP MPs, with notable figures such as Danny Kruger, Steve Double, and half of the SNP's Westminster group joining the cause. Additionally, five of the six officers of the Tory party's 1922 committee have also signed the motion. The campaign, dubbed 'Just Stop Hoyle', has rapidly gained momentum, with the number of signatories jumping from 33 to 63 in a short span. This surge in opposition comes amidst calls from MPs, including SNP leader Stephen Flynn, for Hoyle to resign, marking a significant challenge to his position as Speaker.
