Speaker Hoyle on the Brink + Shapps on Ukraine

from Newscast · host BBC News

Today we look at the pressure building on Sir Lindsay Hoyle, and ask whether he could be replaced as speaker of the House of Commons? Rishi Sunak says Sir Lindsay Hoyle's decision to break with convention on a Gaza ceasefire vote is "very concerning". More than 60 MPs now say they have no confidence in Hoyle, who has apologised twice for making the "wrong decision". Adam speaks to defence secretary Grant Shapps about that, the anniversary of the war in Ukraine and the failed Trident missile launch. Plus Adam hears how likely Hoyle is to be replaced from Chris and the Institute for Government’s Hannah White.
