Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, had to apologize after being criticized by the Speaker of the House, Sir Lindsay Hoyle. The issue started when details about the PM’s defense statement were shared with the media before Members of Parliament (MPs) were informed. This broke the rules of how things are supposed to work in Parliament.
Sir Lindsay Hoyle was very upset and called out the Prime Minister. He reminded everyone that government statements should be shared with the opposition and the Speaker before being made public.
He was especially concerned that some of the information had already been leaked to the media, calling it disrespectful to Parliament. He demanded an investigation into how this happened and asked the PM to report back as soon as possible.
The PM apologized and promised that no information was intentionally given to the media. He also assured the Speaker that he would investigate the matter. He added that he would never disrespect the Speaker or the opposition in such a way.
