A debate on whether to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, brought the UK parliament into disarray -- with the Speaker of the House now accused of 'party politics'.
Nearly 60 MPs are calling on Speaker Lindsay Hoyle to quit for his handling of the parliamentary session.
The Scottish National Party, which had tabled the motion, and the Conservative government have both condemned him for selecting the Labour party's amendment.
They accuse the Speaker of trying to avoid internal divisions within the Labour party -- despite his duty of impartiality.
