Rishi Sunak calls Sir Lindsay Hoyle's decision to break with convention on a Gaza ceasefire vote "very concerning"
The PM says "we should never let extremists intimidate us" into changing how Parliament works, after Hoyle allowed a vote on a Labour amendment to a SNP proposal.
It comes after the SNP's Westminster leader tells Hoyle his party has no confidence in him as Commons Speaker after yesterday's debate chaos.
More than 60 MPs now say they have no confidence in Hoyle, who has apologised twice for making the "wrong decision"
Meanwhile, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has denied threatening Hoyle, saying he “simply urged” the Speaker to ensure there was the “broadest possible debate”
On Wednesday, MPs approved a Labour motion calling for an "immediate humanitarian ceasefire" following hours of debate which saw SNP and Conservative MPs walk out of the Commons.
