What happened in the House of Commons tonight?

[Bookridden]

I'm struggling to understand what is going on and would be grateful is someone can explain to me in simple terms.

Why were Labour worried about the safety of MPs?

Why were the SNP unhappy?

Why were the Tories unhappy?

What's likely to happen next?

Are MPs who don't take a Pro-Palestinian stance really putting their lives at risk?

Famous last words that😂😂

I suspect the anti Jewish rhetoric is either greatly exaggerated or some powerful people are stirring the pot

This an a very odd way at looking at things.

It’s completely possible for the government to be doing backroom deals and Labour to do it as well.

😀

Who knows!

Tbf the Rochdale transcript didn’t help

Labour didn’t need help there to show antisemitic conspiracy

In Wales Drakeford has stuck up two fingers at 450k signatures against blanket 20 mph.

This week his response to the farmers protest in N Wales was "Haven't they got something better to do?"

But we'll still get a labour majority.

I’m afraid Wales demographics will keep Labour in no matter what, and as it declines voting won’t shift

Add to this the anti-woman sentiment in the party and it is not a good look.

He is a horror.

Why would it? It's a mere scratch compared to the gaping wounds caused by the government.

I honestly think that there is a massive arrogance about Labour and their supporters at the moment. I predict a hung parliament at best.

At best hung parliament. It’s amazing that no lessons are ever learnt about the accuracy of polls, or lack of.

I wish it was the case but anti semitism has been a long standing issue in the Labour Party for DECADES or have you conveniently rewritten history.

I'd say the Tories deserve another chance, as there's too many questions over Labour now. Better the devil you know and come election day that might be the Consensus.

That's just insane.

@User135644 the Tories should never get 'another chance' this election should be the end of them.

Absolutely. The thought of another five years of this makes me want to slit my wrists.

Have a look at the odds bookies are offering right now. They very often call it right on GEs.

Another chance to do what? Plunder the country further and make themselves and their mates even richer? Ruin the NHS? Make everyone poorer?

Jesus, people really don't want to wake up and smell the coffee.

No, I don't go for this. There always needs to be an opposition party to hold any government to account.

But it needs to be much higher quality than the parliamentary Conservative Party currently is, en masse. And it needs to have much lower tolerance of lying to the House and general incompetence than the current bunch.

There are some decent Tories left, even after the big clearouts by Johnson et al. But they're not the ones currently in charge.

There always needs to be an opposition party to hold any government to account.

Indeed but not the Tories in the current iteration. A total wipe out would do them the world of good.

I'm going with Electoral Calculus who have correctly called 8 out of the last 9 elections, including Boris Johnson and his majority. No doubt the polls will tighten towards a GE, but meanwhile there's Wellingborough and such for the Tory wishful thinkers to consider.

Perhaps it would mean they reset and get back to the decent Tories like Clarke and Headline, who had a sense of decency.

This thread is absolutely batshit. Sure voters are going to forget about Liz Truss destroying the economy because some obscure parliamentary rule got broken.

The precedent has been in place since 1979.
The advice Hoyle received said the speaker has complete discretion over the order in which members speak and complete discretion over which amendments to bring.
He did nothing wrong. Precedent is not rules.

The Conservatives and SNP have both behaved appallingly and manufactured a load of anger about nothing.

I'm more annoyed with the Conservatives as the illegal prorogation of Parliament was the ultimate in "not following precedent" and they didn't appear to care. Very hypocritical.
