British Palestinians have described the chaotic scenes in the House of Commons over the Gaza ceasefire vote as a farce and “political game playing” after the speaker allowed a Labour amendment to be debated, overturning years of parliamentary precedent.
Lindsay Hoyle went against convention by selecting the amendment for a vote as well as a government one. He has since come under pressure over his handling of the original Scottish National party motion calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
