"The Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, got himself into deep water over the SNP's Gaza ceasfire motion. There were a couple of amendments from Labour and the Tories and he favoured Labour over the SNP. MPs were piling in on him and they reckoned he wouldn't be able to survive. Atthe same time, one of our nuclear submarines had launched a faulty test rocket. It was a useful point of reference for Hoyle firing a dud." - Peter Brookes
