In the wake of recent Commons chaos over a Gaza ceasefire vote, the Scottish National Party (SNP) is pushing for a fresh debate and has called on opposition parties to support a new ceasefire motion. The controversy began when Speaker Lindsay Hoyle rejected the SNP's request for an emergency debate, despite earlier chaos and a promise for such a discussion. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak criticized the initial chaos, stating it sent a dangerous signal that intimidation works, highlighting the toxic impact on society and democracy. Labour MP Chris Bryant admitted to manipulating parliamentary rules to derail the SNP's motion, sparking further outrage and calls for an investigation into Labour's actions. Amidst this political turmoil, accusations of Islamophobia and antisemitism have surfaced, complicating the discourse around the Gaza conflict and the UK's stance on it. The SNP was denied a vote in Westminster, and the Speaker confirmed he has turned down the application from SNP for an emergency debate on Gaza.

The SNP was denied a vote in Westminster last week. We were told this was wrong and to apply for a debate. We did. That debate was to focus on Gaza; to end arms sales to Israel & ensure the UK votes for an immediate ceasefire at the UN. That vote has now been blocked.

Once again. Labour politicians and their media allies who have sought to demonise Gaza protests as a dangerous mob need to stop doing so. If they don’t, then they also need to take ownership of the Islamophobic conspiracy theories they are directly fuelling. https://t.co/CEHubvlKej

Chris Bryant openly admitting he & his party manipulated the rules to get what they wanted. Perhaps now some commentators would like to revise their deeply naive & misguided accounts of what occurred last Wednesday & stop blaming @theSNP? https://t.co/t7yUx8w0Pr

Labour wrecked the ceasefire vote, have completely derailed the public debate on the genocide in Gaza and unleashed a wave of anti-Muslim hate under the disingenuous guise of concern for MPs' safety. Now they're openly admitting to the grubby tricks they used last week https://t.co/fui9y4w94x
Here's the problem. Labour, and their media outriders, played a pivotal role in whipping up a moral panic about Gaza protesters - to deflect from their role in justifying Israel's murderous onslaught. And that moral panic is spurring on the current Islamophobic frenzy. https://t.co/tBr7cu539o

In Parliament this week, a dangerous signal was sent that intimidation works. It is toxic for our society and our politics. It is an affront to the liberties and values we hold dear in Britain.
