After Commons tumultuous about 'bending rules' to save Starmer on Gaza, the Speaker releases another grovelling apology as he is battered by the 'Just Stop Hoyle' movement, with 50-plus MPs demanding Sir Lindsay resigns and the Prime Minister refusing to support him

Following bizarre scenes in the chamber overnight, Speaker Lindsay Hoyle expressed regret for'his conduct as ministers openly debate whether he will live. During tumultuous discussions in the Commons, Labour leader Penny Mordaunt blamed Labour for Sir Lindsay's "damaging" - suggesting that he had been unable to resist pressure from Sir Keir to choose an amendment to a SNP motion calling for a'immediate ceasefire'. Meanwhile, Downing Street has never voiced hope in Sir Lindsay. The amendment decision, which was taken in defiance of Commons Clerks' instructions, meant that Scots nationalists did not have a chance to vote on their own Opposition Day debate. It prompted a walk out from both the SNP and Torries.

Probably'would not work for SNP's attempt to make the general election into a "de facto" Scottish independence referendum

Humza Yousaf, the SNP leader, has confirmed that his campaign for Scottish independence 'probably' won't work, even though it was his party's longest-serving member. Pete Wishart, a SNP MP since 2001, admitted that the party's attempt to turn the general election into a 'de facto' independence referendum was unlikely to be fruitful. Mr Wishart said there was a "chance" that Scotland would break away from the UK in the next five years. However, he said that the 'easy route' to Scottish independence had 'all but been closed down.' Since replacing Nicola Sturgeon as SNP leader in March, Mr Yousaf has told party members that winning an agreement with Westminster for another referendum remains the party's 'Plan A'. But, if the SNP wins the general election in Scotland, the new First Minister reiterated that if they win the general election in Dundee last month, they will have a'mandate' to'negotiate our nation.' 'Vote SNP for Scotland will make Scotland a republic,' the party's manifesto reads.'
