MPs are reportedly furious with Commons speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle

The Daily Telegraph, external suggests Sir Lindsay Hoyle is fighting to keep his job - and reports that Sir Keir Starmer had personally lobbied the Speaker to choose the Labour amendment for a vote. It says the Labour leader visited Sir Lindsay - a former Labour MP - to plead his case. It argues that at the heart of the row is the allegation of political bias - which Sir Lindsay vehemently denies. The paper suggests his future depends on how many MPs now go public in calling for him to go.

The Guardian, external, though, says some MPs are already actively trying to unseat him. Others are urging the Conservatives to ignore the long-running convention of not fielding a candidate against the Speaker at the next general election. The paper also claims such was the strength of feeling among Labour MPs on a ceasefire in Gaza that two shadow cabinet ministers were ready to resign over the issue.

The Daily Express, external believes that although Sir Lindsay had enjoyed the support and respect of MPs across the political divide he has now destroyed his reputation for impartiality.

The Guardian, externalhighlights the latest developments in the row over comments made by the former Post Office chairman, Henry Staunton. He claimed in a newspaper interview that a top civil servant had asked for a delay to compensation payments to postmasters wrongfully convicted in the Horizon IT scandal. But the civil servant involved, Sarah Munby, has written to Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch saying she never explicitly or implicitly suggested to Mr Staunton that payments be held back.

The Financial Times says it's been told by officials that the chancellor is drawing up plans for a 99% mortgage scheme ahead of the Budget. Buyers would have to put down just 1% deposit on their first home, with the government acting as a loan backer. The paper says the Conservatives are keen to reassure voters that they are on the side of homebuyers.

Andthe Times reports that a new study - funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation - suggests that acting out Shakespeare, rather than just reading the Bard, helps children's literacy and emotional development. The trial involved hundreds of year five pupils at 45 state primary schools and showed that children who rehearsed scenes like actors developed broader vocabularies and more complex writing.
