If anyone, anyone at all (?) was confused, the speaker has his nose well into the trough, a man who disregards parliamentary conventions (pretty much all they have In the place of rules) to suit whoever is in power.
Commons Speaker’s £180k bill for first-class flights and hotels. One trip to a luxury Cayman Islands resort by Lindsay Hoyle cost the taxpayer nearly £23,000
Is Lindsay Hoyle saying he is braver than Nigel Farage?
Because that is such a burn Lindsay, I never knew you had it in you! lol
I'm not a fan of Diane Abbott but she gets a lot of very unsavoury attacks aimed at her for absolutely no good reason and Lindsay Hoyle's treatment of her today was downright shabby.

OK, I've been travelling most of this week and only keeping half an eye on UK news, so can someone explain to me what's going on with this nonsense with Lindsay Hoyle?
I understand that he changed the order of voting on an SNP motion and a Labour amendment in an unconventional way, and that was controversial.
And I understand he's been criticised for "giving in to threats of violence".
I don't understand how those things are connected.
What am I missing?
Thanks

Excellent analysis of this farce that is called UK Parliament

“Surely you can see what’s going on here. Subverting the democratic process through alleged blackmail to protect Israel from the charge of collective punishment. Demonising opponents of mass murder in order to protect politicians being held to account for their complicity. If you had any illusions in Britain’s political system, now is the time to shatter them – and that is the only good to come from this tawdry, perverse episode.”

Yesterday in the #parliament in England, we saw just how much respect #labour has for #scotland and for #democracy.
