Full list of MPs who have signed early day motion calling for Speaker to go

The number of MPs calling for Sir Lindsay Hoyle to go has now passed 55.

Dozens of parliamentarians have signed a motion of no confidence in the Speaker over his handling of yesterday’s Gaza ceasefire debate.

It leaves Sir Lindsay fighting for his job, with one Government minister describing his position as “difficult”.

The no-confidence motion is non-binding and not part of any formal process.

However, in this case, that does not matter. The fact that MPs are signing it is enough to pile the pressure on Sir Lindsay because it shows in plain and simple terms the scale of the revolt against him.

Anti-Hoyle

SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn – who hasn’t signed the motion – said yesterday that he would take significant convincing that the Speaker’s position was “not now intolerable”.

Tory MP Danny Kruger said his decision to sign was not “personal”, taking aim primarily at Sir Keir Starmer. He claimed both Sir Lindsay and the Labour leader had shown “weakness and partisanship yesterday”.

Lee Anderson, the former deputy Tory chairman, who has signed the motion, said Sir Lindsay had “let himself down”. “I think, personally, he’s probably been bullied and cajoled into this, had too much pressure,” he said.

Minister Maria Caulfield said Sir Lindsay’s handling of yesterday’s debate had “dented” her confidence in him, describing his position as Commons Speaker as “difficult”. She has not signed the motion.

Pro-Hoyle

Labour frontbencher Pat McFadden said there was “no reason” why Sir Lindsay’s position should be under threat, as he “acted in good faith”.

Ben Wallace, the former defence secretary, said Sir Lindsay has his “full support”.

Former Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith said he was against removing Sir Lindsay from his role as Commons Speaker. “Personally, I am not after getting the Speaker out and his apology showed just how much pressure he had been under,” he said.
