MP for Chester has been suspended for being a creep and there will be a by-election.

I was just going to correct you that the story said there would be a recall petition but in that minute, the old story has gone and as you say, he has resigned immediately instead https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63344752

MP for Chester has been suspended for being a creep and apparently there will be a by-election.

Chris Matheson, a Labour MP, is facing a four-week suspension from the House of Commons after “unwanted and unwelcome sexual advances” towards a junior member of staff.

A panel of parliament’s bullying and harassment watchdog, as well as the standards commissioner, found Matheson had breached the sexual misconduct policy of the House of Commons.

The independent expert panel (IEP) subsequently recommended that he is suspended from parliament for four weeks – a decision that will have to be ratified by fellow MPs.

The severity of the case means he could face a recall petition from his constituents, potentially triggering a byelection.
