Sir Lindsay Hoyle has suggested that his decision to allow multiple votes in a debate on a Gaza ceasefire was in part motivated by “the security of all members”, suggesting he was concerned some MPs could be subject to intimidation as a result of their views on the Middle East conflict. The Speaker of the House of Commons is under pressure over his handling of the debate. The motion was approved but only after Sir Lindsay Hoyle upended parliamentary convention by selecting Labour’s bid to amend an SNP motion on the Israel-Hamas war. Suella Braverman wrote in Friday’s Daily Telegraph that the events of Wednesday had “undermined the integrity of Parliament”, adding: “The truth is that the Islamists, the extremists and the antisemites are in charge now.” TalkTV’s Dr David Bull and Sarah Hewson discuss the story with deputy editor of Spiked Fraser Myers and group editor of Woman magazine Hannah Fernando.
