Watch as Hoyle scolds Kemi Badenoch in Commons: ‘Who do you think you are speaking to?’

Sir Lindsay Hoyle described Kemi Badenoch’s behaviour in the House of Commons as “totally unacceptable” after changes to the EU Retained Law Bill were announced to the media before MPs were informed.

“I’m very sorry that the sequencing that we chose was not to your satisfaction,” the Tory minister said, defending the government’s actions, which sparked a furious response from the speaker.

“That is totally not acceptable. Who do you think you’re speaking to?” Hoyle said, firing back.

“I am not going to be spoken to by a secretary of state who is absolutely not accepting my ruling. Take it with good grace and accept it.”
