In a heated opposition day debate in the UK Commons, SNP and Tory MPs expressed outrage as Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle made the controversial decision to choose both the government and Labour Party's amendments to an SNP motion, breaking with convention. This move led to confusion, with some MPs walking out of the chamber. The SNP's foreign affairs spokesman Brendan O'Hara emphasized that no country has the right to lay siege to a civilian population, echoing calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.

Meanwhile, Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy has been at the forefront of the Labour Party's push for a ceasefire, calling for an immediate humanitarian pause. Despite the turmoil in Parliament, people advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza gathered outside to lobby their MPs on the pressing issue.

On the political front, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer urged for a lasting ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict, highlighting the importance of peace in the region. Additionally, in recent by-elections, Labour scored victories in Wellingborough and Kingswood, overturning significant Conservative majorities. This prompted Conservative Party chairman to note that there has not been a massive shift towards Labour in these areas.

As tensions rise over the Gaza conflict and political dynamics continue to evolve following the recent by-election results, the aftermath of the fractious parliamentary debate is likely to impact UK politics in the coming days.
