Speaker Lindsay Hoyle criticized for not calling suspended Labour MP Diane Abbott during PMQs on racist allegations.

Speaker Lindsay Hoyle is facing criticism for not calling suspended Labour MP Diane Abbott to ask a question during PMQs, despite the session focusing on racist comments allegedly made by Tory donor Frank Hester towards her. Abbott attempted to catch Hoyle's eye multiple times during the session, but was not selected to ask the Prime Minister a question. The Speaker's Office claimed there was "not enough time" to call all MPs.
