It's not just the apparent shenanigans that went on between the Labour Party and the Speaker on Wednesday that we need to worry about - and there is no doubt in my mind that both Lindsay Hoyle and Keir Starmer must now resign their positions - possibly even as MPs.
What worries me even more, is the reason Lindsay Hoyle gave for his actions: apparently, he wanted to protect MPs - especially Labour MPs - whom he thought were particularly vulnerable - from abuse, threats, physical attack, or even murder from constituents or others, if they were deemed to have voted the 'wrong' way, ie pro-Israeli policy and against Hamas. Meanwhile a shouting, chanting, Palestine-flag waving mob of thousands was screaming just outside Parliament telling MPs how to vote. This is called mob rule. Our democratic process has been hijacked by a threatening, potentially violent sectrian minority and their Useful Idiot supporters. What should we do about this?
