The House of Commons descended into chaos this week as Speaker Lindsay Hoyle allowed a Labour amendment to be moved during an SNP opposition day debate that was supposed to be calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

And, hear the key parts of the Scottish Labour conference in Glasgow that led into this heated debate, and what Anas Sarwar had to say about the SNP's motion.
