threatening Speaker

Starmer denies threatening Speaker over Gaza vote

In the midst of the Gaza ceasefire debate, Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle faces challenges retaining his role after Labour's contentious amendment. Sir Keir Starmer denies threatening Hoyle, merely advocating for a comprehensive discussion. Accusations of political maneuvering and interference cloud Hoyle's decision-making, as SNP withdraws support and Conservatives express no confidence. Labour blames Tory boycott for disorder, while the government accuses Labour of undermining the Speaker. Despite the turmoil, some defend Hoyle's fairness and integrity.
