The speaker of the House of Commons issued an unprecedented apology last night after a fractious and occasionally chaotic parliamentary debate on Gaza.
MPS voted unanimously for a Labour motion calling for an "immediate humanitarian ceasefire" in Gaza, but only after Lindsay Hoyle had upended years of parliamentary precedent to allow the party to bring its motion to a vote and Conservative and Scottish National party MPs had walked out.
They reacted with fury to Hoyle's decision, which the speaker said had been designed to air a wide range of opinions but which also allowed the Labour leader to dodge the biggest rebellion of his leadership.
Some are now trying to unseat him while others are urging the Conservatives to ignore common practice and stand a candidate against him at the general election.
Hoyle apologised to MPs at the end of a six-hour debate marked by parliamentary chicanery, frequent shouting across the Commons chamber and accusations of partisanship on the part of the speaker. In an unexpected statement, the speaker told a packed chamber later: "It is clear that today did not show the house at its best.
