Is it possible they were actually more interested in scoring points against the Labour front bench?
This is it isn't it?
The SNP's first attempt at weaponising the cease fire was incredibly effective. It's vital for them to reduce Labour's electoral chances, so why not have another crack? Especially with the Rochdale Antisemitism story still in the air and another byelection to go.

If the speaker hadn’t allowed the Labour amendment, then the SNP motion would’ve been defeated by the Tories (regardless of how Labour voted), and the government amendment calling for a ‘humanitarian pause’ would’ve passed.
But the commons has now voted for an immediate ceasefire, and yet everyone who wanted a ceasefire is furious. Is it possible they were actually more interested in scoring points against the Labour front bench?
