Commons speaker 'regrets' decision to allow Labour vote on Gaza ceasefire 

Not shown the house at its best. Meaning, shown the speaker at his worst.

I wish they spent this much passion worrying about the british people

He’ll get his peerage, that’s all he is interested in. The way he ran away and left his deputy to take the flak for his decision should shame him. But it won’t.

Looks like certain members of the house (and parties) are treated more fairly than others.

Why would MPs and their families need protecting and from whom? Rhetorical.

It's a shame that Mr Fawkes was grassed up

His position is now untenable and he should resign.

Resign!

Who is threatening the security of mps and their families.

By far the weakest Speaker in living memory. He has shown himself incapable of doing the job and should resign immediately.

He’s gotta go very soon , it just makes more mockery of parliament.

Liars always get found out. Resign.

Utter disgrace from the speaker

It seems to me now British people need to free themselves from Israel as Palestinians are trying to free themselves from Israel.

HE NEEDS TO RESIGN I DON'T KNOW WHY OR WHATS GOING ON HERE BUT HE MUST RESIGN

Yes he's gotta go .... But what is really worrying is Starmer's terrible handling of this.....he was facing a massive rebellion in his own party ....he's gotta realise this is not a dictatorship ...or is this what we have to look forward to.....

Shame on you leader of the house of parliament shame

A house full of vipers and he is the chief snake.

No, he didn't regret his decision to allow a vote on the Labour amendment...What he regretted was how it ended up - he regretted the chaotic outcome, not the fact that the Labour amendment was included in the debate..."I've got to say Iregret how it's ended up..."

Our politics? Appalling.

Labour blackmailing sickening and I say that as a Labour voter ..no chance they will get my Vote the next election .

Regretfully, regretting decisions is becoming somewhat of a British pastime.

Forget the regret……resign

Too big a mistake. Should go.

Shame on Starmer

He's finished

Pointless Israel won't stop 😂

So it would seem some MPs were saying they needed anonimity to participate in the vote. Maybe their constituants wouldn't like their vote? But which side wanted anonimity?

The Speaker should not be apologising for anything, the entire compliment of the current House is an absolute disgrace and unfit to sit in that place! Its appalling! Far too many people afraid to say what they think for fear of the loud cancellation type stuff!😂😂😂😂

The war is between Israel and Hamas how does the UK have any say? What are they voting for ?

It isn't the speaker's job to break the rules in order to help MPs hold their seats. Shocking display and he must step down.

will never vote for Tories and Labour has lost my vote for life . I will vote for individuals who possess integrity and will defend our democratic values. Not those who have sold our country to Terrorists states such as Israel

I saw people violence on NHS staff today

Netanyahu told his Likud colleagues: "Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas... This is part of our strategy to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank." يقل😮😮

took the speaker 4 mins to say sorry

Hundreds of thousands Israelis gathered in streets demanding the removal of netenyahu's government and a deal with hamas latest statistc showed that more than half of Israel population wants an immediate elections and biny gants as new prime minister Histadrut chairman against Netanyahu: he should resign, we will join the protest against the government "source channel 12" Netenyahu is dealing with 4 cases of corruption against him in Israeli courts In March 2019, Netanyahu told his Likud colleagues: "Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas...

When the importance of showing soIidarity expIodes fantasticaIIy in ones face...

It's the SNP day in Westminster to put forward an opposition motion for debate and vote, the SNP motion asked for a ceasefire in Gaza and in the motion it uses the words "collective punishment". It was reported that Labour was going to vote against or abstain against the SNP ceasefire motion because Keir Starmer's Labour doesn't like the words "collective punishment" that is happening to the civilians in Gaza. It's been reported that Labour lent on the Labour Westminster Speaker to change the Westminster convention on how to proceed. The Labour Speaker changed the convention of Westminster that only the SNP motion and the Tory government motion would get debated and voted on. The Labour speaker of Westminster added a Labour amendment to the SNP Gaza ceasefire motion to be debated and voted on. If the Labour amendment is voted through the SNP Gaza ceasefire motion would not be voted on. The Tories pulled their amendment which means that the Labour amendment to the SNP motion will get voted on and will be added to the SNP motion and the SNP motion for a ceasefire will not be voted on. The Labour amendment to the SNP motion was nodded through because the government said that they wouldn't vote, so there wasn't a vote. No Labour MP can say they voted for a ceasefire.

Shouldn’t have been a debate or a vote in the first place

The speakers out 🤡

His apologising to Israel 😂

Ridiculous. He should resign. He did this after a meeting with Labour, he's supposed to be impartial

As a German... well, who's going to check us? England has fallen.

This is what happens when 1 man has full power over a situation....have we not learned from History....don't we remember when 1 man had power and last say...😤

I like this guy .but he's shown he's true colours which seem red though and though Best way forward is to go

I miss the previous speaker. What a boss.

Utterly shameful capitulation Worst speaker ever, GO !

Eleanor Liang is rubbing her hands together

He bottled it what a bunch of cowards

Both side in mid east are wrong (Israel more so).. but it seems our silly MPs are wasting our taxes again playing games in parliament?

NHS staff safety 🦺🎉

NO CEASEFIRE

Sue gray and ethics go together like..............???

Resign ! The Speaker was blackmailed by Labour Labour said they would remove him at the next election Blackmail & self-interest

⁠maybe he needed to time reflect on his decision. Something Tories never would do. And as I heard Starmer blackmailed him… so it’s rather his shame, not Hoyle.

Imagine our MPs cared this much about the UK rather than the middle-east. We'd be a first world country again.

Why would he regret this ?

Absolute jokers

He is and has always been useless.

British Commons is worse than a kindergarten.

what about the protection of the people of Europe..

Disgusting behaviour!

What’s he on about ?

MPS now concerned about THEIR safety and their families........as for the rest of Britain......kick rocks!

regrets

Have they given back the hostages yet?

And they want discipline in schools.....Great example.

An absolute fiasco that drags on the issue when it looked like progress would be made. The nonsense and egos have literally cost lives. Bottom line!!!!

What was he thinking

What has happened?

He holds no weight, that'd not his words written down...embarrassing

This is one of the worst speakers we've had! Get rid of him!!

Apologising for allowing the opposition to hold a vote? Some house of democracy

Someone has put him up to it. I believe it's shifty starmer who should be made to resign.

Think of the mayhem and violence if Labour had supported the SNP motion. What a lie.

Any politician should be all: "thoughts and prayers to the innocent people harmed in this conflict." No- one could get salty about that.

He just wants to stay on the gravy train for as long as possible, that's all.

The tough talker who always threatens people with early cups of tea

Is he backtracking 😮

At least he is honest and owns up when he is wrong. Cant say that about the vast majority of MPs in the House.

So it's another u turn

It is not UK business to vote to cease fire in Gaza

You have been caught

Tainted and political motivated motions favourable to labour party

If they are scared then they are in the wrong job

Misleading title. Shame on your 'Guardian'

He’s afraid of the tunnellers

This smells like sectarianism to me...

He's the worst speaker ever. Bring back Bercow.

I’ve been unimpressed by the speaker. I don’t like how he constantly interrupts and tells off Sunak during PMQs either.

He must go. Permanent Ceasefire Now! Stop the Genocide.

Bring back Bercow

What a tool.

He is a sold soul. He has sold his chair to Stemar.

I can barely understand him

Labour Party Speaker so what do you expect? He should resign but being a leftist and thus devoid of any sense of shame or honour he won’t. He did a favour for his party and Sir Kneeler. Hamas supporters are happy though.

Nice guy... wrong guy

Free palestine !!

More BS

Vote for a stop cease fire ,all should be sacked ,,
