Starmer denies pressuring Commons Speaker ahead of Gaza vote

Sir Keir Starmer has “categorically” denied threatening Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle to select Labour’s amendment in the Gaza ceasefire debate, in a move that unleashed parliamentary chaos.

Sir Lindsay came under pressure amid accusations he helped the Labour leader avoid another damaging revolt over the Middle East issue by upending parliamentary convention in approving Labour’s bid to alter an SNP motion calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.

Two Missiles, One Target: Houthis’ Red Sea Assault, Panama-Flagged Anadolu S Hit Twice in Hours

Tensions in the Red Sea escalated dramatically as Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels targeted the Panama-flagged bulk carrier Anadolu S with two missile strikes in a matter of hours. The first attack occurred late Sunday night, narrowly missing the vessel's stern. Despite warnings, the ship continued its course, prompting a second strike the following day, landing just a nautical mile away. While no casualties or damage were reported, the incident highlights the Houthis' growing maritime campaign, which they claim is in solidarity with Gaza. The Bahrain-based Combined Task Force confirmed the strikes, raising concerns over shipping safety in the region. This bold assault underscores the escalating risks for international vessels navigating the Red Sea amid intensifying regional tensions. #RedSeaTensions #HouthiMissileStrikes #AnadoluSAttack #MaritimeConflict #RedSeaCrisis #HouthiAssault #ShippingUnderFire #MaritimeSecurity #RedSeaEscalation #PanamaFlaggedShip #MissileStrikes #HouthisInAction #GlobalShippingThreat #RedSeaDanger #MaritimeRisks ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.101~GR.124~
