Speaker Issues Rare Apology After Chaotic Gaza Debate Divides UK Parliament
• Commons speaker Lindsay Hoyle issued unprecedented apology after chaotic Gaza ceasefire debate, admitting "House did not show itself at its best"
• Hoyle allowed Labour to bring its motion calling for "immediate humanitarian ceasefire" in Gaza to a vote, angering Tories and SNP
• Tory and SNP MPs accused Hoyle of partisanship and walked out in protest; Labour motion passed unopposed
• Some MPs seek to unseat Hoyle while others urge Tories to stand against him in next election
• Row over obscure parliamentary process during debate on Gaza war risks undermining reputation of Commons in voters' eyes
