How the heck does Keir Starmer keep getting away with this?

Starmer is getting away with abusing the rules again, as his referral for allegedly threatening the Speaker falls through.
Right, so despite strong allegations that Keir Starmer pressured the Speaker of the House of Commons Lindsay Hoyle to abandon precedent and set aside a standing order put forward by Labour on an SNP Opposition Day debate, in order to scupper a meaningful vote on an immediate ceasefire, precedent now matters again to the three Deputy Speakers who have all opted to not allow a vote to refer Starmer to the Privileges Committee accusing him of having pressured the Speaker. Not only is this appalling to observers, who are seeing Deputy Speakers effectively rally to protect their boss Hoyle, but it has shown Keir Starmer that if he did indeed pressure Hoyle, he’s got away with it and can do so again anytime he wishes. Rules were abused to allow Starmer to get his own way, the accusations against him were strong enough it earned him a referral to the Privileges Committee and now the rules are being buried again to cover it all up. That’s what it feels like to me, a cover up, to arguably save Hoyle, save what went on between him and Starmer ever becoming public, but it is a conversation there is public interest in getting to the bottom of and it shouldn’t be allowed to be swept under the carpet, the situation making it clear neither Starmer nor Hoyle are fit for office.
Right, so we’re back to Keir Starmer, Lindsay Hoyle and that SNP ceasefire vote which Labour effectively hijacked. The SNP were bringing a ceasefire vote as an Opposition Day motion, they only get 3 of these Opposition Day debates versus Labour getting 17 of them, so to use one to call for a ceasefire in Gaza was a big deal, but they got well and truly shafted. Rules you see. House of Commons Standing Orders are rules and Standing 31 relates to Opposition Day debates where, to give the relevant party its say on its day, the rule is according to the standing order, that their motion will be heard first in the event that the government lays down an amendment, and if the government lays down an amendment, no other opposition parties get their heard, because by convention, their amendment would have to be heard before the motion. No good on an Opposition Day debate, because the relevant party, in this case the SNP, could see their motion amended before they even bring it. It’s their day. Hence the need for exceptional rules on Opposition Days. This got set aside arbitrarily by Hoyle apparently after Starmer leant on him. The official line is that Starmer convinced him somehow, no details given, but the allegations are that Starmer threatened him, threatened Hoyle that Labour would withdraw support for him following the next General Election, where the Speaker once more must be selected and Hoyle would quite like to stay in post.
What we saw here was a blatant breaking of convention and the rules. For a start, to set aside a standing order should have required a vote. There was none, Hoyle took it upon himself to do this, again adding weight to the threat allegation.
