Sir Lindsay Hoyle urged to 'come clean' as dozens of MPs call for him to go

People are requesting that Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the Commons Speaker, divulge the truth regarding whether or not the Labour Party attempted to sway his actions during a tumultuous debate about Gaza.

The SNP has stated that he must provide a "personal statement" that covers all of the meetings and communication he had with the Labour leadership before the motion that took place yesterday.

The leader of the party in Westminster, Stephen Flynn, stated in an interview with Sky News that he thought there was a secret agreement between the Speaker and the Labour party regarding the amendments. However, the Labour party has refuted this claim.

The Conservative Party has made comparable claims about Sir Lindsay, with Maria Caulfield, the health minister, stating that he needs to be honest and open about the issue before his planned meeting with Penny Mordaunt, the leader of the House, and the party's chief whips.

Many parliament members are demanding that Sir Lindsay step down from his position, but he is currently fighting to keep his job.

Currently, there are 57 Members of Parliament who have expressed their lack of confidence in him by signing a motion.

Live Political News: Speaker trying to keep position despite controversies.

The argument started on Wednesday evening when he permitted a ballot on a Labour revision to an SNP proposal that requested for an urgent end to the violence in Gaza.

It is uncommon for opposition parties to alter opposition motions, as this ability is typically reserved for the government. Therefore, certain members of the Conservative Party perceived the determination as unjust due to the fact that Sir Keir Starmer would have encountered a substantial mutiny if his party's amendment had not been selected.

The SNP was very angry that the Labour amendment was selected to be voted on first. This led to claims that Sir Lindsay had permitted Labour to take control of the discussion. As a result of this, members from both the Conservative and SNP parties walked out of the chamber.

Sky News had an interview with Maria Caulfield, the Health Minister, where she claimed that there were rumours about Labour experiencing a considerable loss in the election and they attempted to manipulate the Speaker in their favor.

She said that he should be honest about the conversations that took place.

The Labour party refuted the claim and proposed that the Tories abstained from participating in the procedure because they were anxious about a revolt among their own members.

Even though the Labour and SNP parties demanded a ceasefire, each with its own interpretation, the government's proposition was for a cessation of hostilities for the sake of humanitarian aid.

Ms Caulfield acknowledged that last night's events were highly unacceptable, especially since there are many fatalities taking place in Gaza. However, she put the blame on Sir Lindsay for transforming a significant discussion into a chaotic and disorderly situation.

She expressed her dissatisfaction and astonishment towards his conduct and mentioned that it would be difficult for her to offer her assistance to him in the future.

Nonetheless, she didn't explicitly state that he must resign - pointing out that he has already expressed regret and has arranged a meeting with cabinet minister Ms. Mordant and chief whips from various political parties later in the day.

Yesterday in the British House of Commons, there was a vote regarding Gaza. The outcome of the vote is not mentioned in this text. There is also a question about whether the person in charge of the House of Commons, known as the Speaker, can be fired from their position.

The Speaker of the House of Commons is being urged to step down from his position. There are increasing demands for the Speaker of the House of Commons to resign from his post.

The previous evening, insiders from the Labour Party informed Sky News that the people in charge of enforcing discipline within the party, known as Labour whips, expressed to Sir Lindsay - who used to be a Labour Member of Parliament before becoming the Speaker - that they wouldn't support him to stay in his current role beyond the next election, unless he chose their amendment.

Pat McFadden, a senior member of the opposition's shadow cabinet, said on Sky News that allegations of threats against the Speaker's position from Labour are untrue. He also stated that Sir Lindsay is being unfairly blamed for the government's decision to not participate in certain proceedings.

As a result, the proposal put forward by the Labour party was accepted without any resistance through a formal vote, and the Scottish National Party (SNP) was left with no chance to cast their vote regarding their own motion.

The clerk of the House gave some guidance stating that the choice to pick both edits showed "a deviation from the well-known tradition for handling these changes on days when the opposition is present".

Nevertheless, the correspondence stated that it is in fact entirely up to Sir Lindsay to decide which amendments he chooses to accept.
