In a recent development in the House of Commons, Speaker Lindsay Hoyle allowed both Government and Labour Gaza amendments to be voted on, a decision described as unprecedented. This move has sparked controversy and led to accusations against Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer. Starmer has been accused of threatening Speaker Hoyle to select Labour's amendment in the Gaza ceasefire debate, a claim he has categorically denied. Starmer stated that he simply urged the Speaker to allow for the broadest possible debate on the issue. The situation has resulted in parliamentary chaos, with Hoyle later apologizing to MPs.
