The longest filibuster in the British House of Commons occurred in 1909 when Liberal MP Sir Charles Dilke spoke for a total of 8 hours and 16 minutes against the Parliament Bill. This bill aimed to limit the House of Lords' power to veto legislation, and Dilke's lengthy speech was part of a broader debate on the bill. Filibustering in the British Parliament is relatively rare compared to its use in the U.S. Congress.
