Sir Lindsay Hoyle has suggested that his decision to allow multiple votes in a debate on a Gaza ceasefire was in part motivated by “the security of all members”, suggesting he was concerned some MPs could be subject to intimidation as a result of their views on the Middle East conflict.

The Speaker of the House of Commons is under pressure over his handling of the debate.

The motion was approved but only after Sir Lindsay upended parliamentary convention by selecting Labour’s bid to amend an SNP motion on the Israel-Hamas war.

TalkTV’s Jake Berry discusses the story with TalkTV political correspondent Alicia Fitzgerald, former Labour adviser Stella Tsantekidou and journalist Matthew Stadlen.
