"UK Parliament Chaos: Gaza Ceasefire Vote Descends into Controversy"

TL;DR Summary
UK Parliament Speaker Lindsay Hoyle faced criticism for his handling of a key vote on support for a Gaza ceasefire, with the government and SNP condemning his actions. The debate led to chaos as Hoyle allowed a vote on a Labour amendment to an SNP motion, breaking precedent and avoiding a potential split within the Labour Party. The decision drew anger from some MPs, leading to a motion expressing no confidence in the speaker. Hoyle later apologized, denying favoritism, but the incident overshadowed the crucial debate on the Gaza ceasefire.
