🚨 BREAKING: Speaker Lindsay Hoyle blasts Sunak for failing to make his statement on net zero policies in Parliament.
Spox: “If he had the power, the Speaker would recall the House immediately.”
🔥 “Ministers are answerable to MPs - we do not have a presidential system here.”
Under Standing Order 13, only the government can request the House be recalled - which the Speaker then decides whether to grant.
Of course, the House adjourned for recess *less than 24 hours ago*.
