There has been absolute uproar in House of Commons today, as Speaker Hoyle allows a Labour Gaza Amendment to be voted upon, over the original SNP Motion, which called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
SNP also condemned collective punishment of Palestinians by Israel, which Labour didn't like much like!
So why all the big fuss?
Well, allowing 2 different votes like this on Opposition Motions, just isn't done.
It means Labour bosses get their own thing voted on, saving Sir Starmer a rebellion by his own MPs who threatened to vote against the Labour Whip and support the SNP vote.
Rumour has it, Sir Starmer would have Speaker Hoyle replaced if he didn't do as wanted.
Now the tories, and even SNP demand Speaker Hoyle resign!
It is totally chaotic, and a very poor move on the part of the Labour bosss.
As for Speaker Holye himself, he has been a most incredibly weak Speaker, allowing pretty much anything to go, and tends to side with the Government way too often.
This incident shows him up even more.
