TL;DR Summary

The SNP plans to push for another Commons debate on Gaza following the chaotic vote on the conflict, prompting heightened scrutiny of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle's handling of the situation. The SNP wants to apply for an emergency debate on a motion setting out "concrete actions" the UK could take to promote a ceasefire at the United Nations, potentially putting pressure on the government to take a firmer pro-ceasefire stance. This comes after uproar in the Commons when Sir Lindsay allowed a vote on a Labour amendment to the SNP's ceasefire motion, leading to accusations of playing "party politics" with the vote.
