THE “bullied” Commons Speaker has “effectively lied” to Parliament and public, according to the SNP’s Westminster leader.

Stephen Flynn MP made the remarks on BBC Radio Scotland as he discussed the fallout of the chaotic opposition day debate when Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle effectively prevented voting on the SNP’s ceasefire motion.

Instead the house was left to accept or reject a Labour amendment, which omitted an SNP reference to “collective punishment of the Palestinian people.”
