Speaker tells off MPs for behaving like teenagers during PMQs

Commons speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle told off MPs for behaving like teenagers during a heated Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday (1 May).

Sir Lindsay told members to “stop banging on furniture” and said “We are not in the sixth form now” as he threatened to remove them from the Commons over their inappropriate behaviour.

Sir Lindsay’s comments came as Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer faced each other in the Commons ahead of local elections in 107 local authorities across England tomorrow (2 May).
