Nicholas Watt (@nicholaswatt) on X: Senior Labour figures tell me @CommonsSpeaker was left in no doubt that Labour would bring him down after the general election unless he called Labour’s Gaza amendment

1. Regardless of your party or stance, this is disgraceful behaviour and totally against Parliamentary democracy

2. Starmer continues his authoritarian streak.

   Hoyle was and always will be a spineless weasel

3. Like I’ve said, London no matter the rosette colour will not tolerate Scottish voices, even Scottish Labour, and Holyrood as a whole.

   Starmer in his reach for No.10 is shitting all over his own party, more so than the tory opposition.

   The ones squirming in their seats the most in this debacle are the MSPs of Scottish Labour who are really, REALLY getting fed up with an indifferent, belittling, and uber unionist control freakery of Starmer, Baillie and Murray that sees Scottish voices quelled, threatened and dismissed to a full on ridiculous degree now.

4. When I said I wish Labour were more left wing, I was hoping it would be things like homing people, not backroom Stalinist threats to those who don’t play along.

   They’ve become a despicable party under Starmer, genuinely a very nasty group of people. I’m actually concerned what they might do in power now, as I don’t think it will be much better than what we currently have.

5. Being reported that Labour deny the allegation. Judging by some of the shite Lammy & Co were spouting this afternoon I’m not necessarily inclined to believe them.

6. It’s pretty funny; if true this is probably one of the most severe political scandals in years but it’s couched in the weird nonsense of Westminster Parliamentary procedure. It’s like if the Masons seized control of Wales.

7. Wow, I thought it was just Starmer and some Labour MP’s who were weak. Looks like it’s infected the whole party. Just the party you want to stand up to Russia in these times.
