Good evening,

The Commons speaker is at the centre of a bias row after taking the unusual step of tabling both a Labour and a government amendment in tonight's Gaza ceasefire debate. 

Thanks to the rather arcane - and very complicated - parliamentary rules, MPs should not have been given the opportunity to vote on Sir Keir Starmer' calls for an immediate ceasefire. 

Now they've been given the chance, it's good news for Sir Keir Starmer - but could result in trouble for Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the speaker.
