YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhat on earth is going on in the House of Commons?
The House erupted last night after the Speaker's decision to take action completely unprecedented in recent history. In the SNP's opposition day debate calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, he granted Labour an amendment to the vote which was to be taken ahead of the SNP's motion.
Labour's amendment changed the wording of the SNP's motion to remove references to the collective punishment of Palestinians by the IDF, for a ceasefire to be contingent on the release of Israeli hostages by Hamas and for Hamas to give over power in Gaza.
Labour have 17 opposition day debates in the course of a parliamentary session, while other opposition parties have three between them. The SNP saw Labour's granting of an amendment and first vote as a hijacking of their debate.
