Gaza ceasefire: Stephen Flynn and SNP MPs walk out of the Commons chamber as motion turns into farce

[@davidcarruth1317]

It doesn’t matter what you think of the SNP, this one flys in the face of our democracy and this time they are in the right. Disregarding the humanitarian rights of the people in Gaza and the constitutional democratic rights of the people of Scotland in one fell swoop. Every time you think that politics in this country could not achieve a new low we do

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

today was a great advert for Scottish Independence. May turn out to be, weirdly, a good day for the SNP so far as the polls go

[@tomslater1332]

@@Matthew-bu7fg it was the SNP doing what they do best ...scheming and it had nothing to do with saving lives in Gaza be it Palestinians or Israelis it was purely to try and cause a rift within the Labour Party if their motion was voted on and they way it was worded. I am not a supporter of Labour but in my own opinion the whole political system in the UK needs a re set.

[@barrymontgomery408]

The snp have lost the plot hamas are killing hostages and civilians in gaza nobody talks about that. Flynn and his zenophobic party should butt out of international affairs. Netanyahoo will not agree to a ceasefire yet again flynn and his stinking party are grandstanding in the house of commons.

[@tomslater1332]

The SNP were hoping with their motion it would cause problems within the Labour Party if a vote was called on the SNP motion. It back fired big style. The only reason Flynn was annoyed was purely because it screwed up their scheming plan. I wish the SNP put the same passion in to looking after its own people and Scotland but that will never happen.

[@brucemorland1406]

Scheming plan? A humanitarian request. Wow you are surely an anti snp Yoon to stoop that low!

[@garywinter6149]

A lot of garbage from you ya Starmer Nazi troll.

[@pauldoherty6413]

Utter nonsense, the SNP wanted a vote on whether or not to immediately and permanently stop the bombing of innocent civilians (without the mincing of words), plain and simple. If that would cause division in the Labour Party that’s on Labour, do you seriously believe that is the SNPs priority in all this rather than actually trying to stop the killing of Palestinians? You’re actually having a go at the SNP because there is division in the Labour Party on the issue, how does that work? This whole fiasco has highlighted how weak and scheming Starmer and Hoyle actually are, both should step down.
