What's your alternative suggestion?

I get it, you're disappointed with the MPs - all parties and especially the political games they play for no public benefit. But what can be practically done about it? The whole political system with whips, loyalty, etc is a difficult one to break.

Unless the nasties trying to usurp democracy eventually gain power.

The rules were broken to give Starmer, and by proxy Israel, cover and deny the SNP their right to put their motion before Parliamentarians first.

Correct - apart from the greyed-out phrase. We must keep 7-Oct in mind and also consider what is a proportional response to roasted babies.
