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.

Go behind the scenes with SNP chief whip Owen Thompson who takes our political reporters Abbi Garton-Crosbie and Steph Brawn through the ins and outs of a dramatic day where archaic Westminster procedure overshadowed a serious international issue.

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.
