Speaker of the House of Commons, Lindsay Hoyle, found himself at the center of a storm as he faced criticism for his handling of a tense Gaza debate. Hoyle's decision to select amendments from Labour and the government for the Gaza ceasefire motion sparked outrage and accusations of political bias, further fueling chaos in the Commons.

Amid shouts of 'resign' and a chamber filled with tension, Hoyle issued apologies to MPs and vowed to restore calm. However, the aftermath resembled a scene from the Brexit era, with the Speaker facing backlash and accusations of disrupting parliamentary norms.

Despite the turmoil, Hoyle's move may have strategic implications, limiting potential rebellions within Labour regarding their stance on the Middle East. By reshaping Commons rules on the Gaza ceasefire debate, the Speaker inadvertently stirred up a political firestorm that continues to divide opinions and fuel discontent in the political arena.

In the midst of the controversy, Speaker Lindsay Hoyle's actions have sparked intense debate and scrutiny, with many questioning the impartiality and leadership of one of the most prominent figures in British politics. As Hoyle navigates the aftermath of the Gaza vote row, the future of parliamentary proceedings hangs in a delicate balance, overshadowed by political tension and uncertainty.
