The Speaker of the House of Commons has insisted that MPs are "equal" when it comes to security. It's after Sir Lindsay Hoyle was criticised by Reform over his response to security concerns raised by the party's MPs. Several parties came to the Speaker's defence in a Commons debate that featured several tributes to Ann Widdecombe, a former Tory and Reform politician who was found dead in her home on Thursday. A murder investigation is now being led by counter-terror police. Also on the show, Ukrainian conductor Dalia Stasevska, the principal guest conductor to the BBC Symphony Orchestra, tells Cathy that Russia is trying to "erase Ukrainian culture". #cathynewman #lindsayhoyle #uklabour #reformuk #annwiddecombe #nigelfarage SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on Tik
