LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer has dodged a Commons probe over last month’s chaotic Gaza ceasefire debate.

Tory, SNP and Plaid Cymru MPs had requested an investigation, alleging that Sir Keir had put pressure on Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle to select his party’s amendment during the SNP opposition day debate.

But all three deputy speakers, Rosie Winterton, Nigel Evans and Eleanor Laing, have now unanimously ruled that there will be no vote on whether to refer the Labour leader to the Commons privileges committee.
