What happened in the Commons today – and can the Speaker be sacked?

File photo dated 14/03/22 of Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle who has called for "radical" reform to working practices in the Commons after a series of bullying and sexual misconduct claims involving MPs. Calling for urgent action, Sir Lindsay suggested staff should no longer be employed by the parliamentarians they work for to address a series of "serious allegations". Issue date: Saturday April 30, 2022.

Raised voices, walk-outs, calls for resignations, even a few tears – it was a hairy day over in parliament on Wednesday and not the usual scenes expected from an opposition day debate.
