I wonder if any Labour MPs will now face a recall petition? It only needs 10% of voters to sign the petition to get the ball rolling.

Are you starting one in your Constituency?

There are a few conditions before you can get a Recall Petition going.

Quote.

Conditions to trigger recall

MPs can be recalled under three circumstances:

1. Conviction in the UK of any offence and sentenced or ordered to be imprisoned or detained, after all appeals have been exhausted. Note – a sentence over 12 months in jail automatically disqualifies someone from being an MP;

2. Suspension from the House following report and recommended sanction from the Committee on Standards for a specified period (at least 10 sitting days, or at least 14 days if sitting days are not specified);


3. Convicted of an offence under section 10 of the Parliamentary Standards Act 2009 (making false or misleading Parliamentary allowances claims). Note – the sentence does not have to be custodial for this condition.

If one of the conditions is met the Speaker of the House must notify the local returning officer. They are known as a petition officer when dealing with a recall petition.

Constituents can't initiate a recall petition

This Labour MP might be regretting this tweet, albeit back in 2017.
