Speaker of UK Commons under pressure to step down

The speaker of the UK House of Commons is under growing pressure to step down.

Sir Lindsay Hoyle is expected to meet with party leaders today - after a debate on a ceasefire in Gaza descended into chaos.

He's apologised for breaking long standing parliamentary convention which prompted fury among some MPs and led to many walking out of the commons.

Sir Lindsay allowed an amendment by the opposition Labour party to a proposal put forward by another opposition party - the SNP. 

The speaker is supposed to keep order in the commons and remain politically impartial - but the decision was seen to benefit his old Labour party, and avoid a potentially embarrassing mutiny by Labour MPs.

More than 50 MPs have signed a motion of no confidence in Sir Lindsay.

Scottish National Party MP Richard Thomson - says he's "angry" and "disappointed":
