The Petition to recall Fiona Onasanya, the ex-Labour MP for Peterborough just released from prison, has been launched:

They’ve got 6 weeks from 19 March to get the signatures of 10% of the electorate (about 7300 names). Be interesting to see how and if this works. The last one, in North Antrim, failed because they only got 9.4% of electors to sign in the time period. If they get the 10% the MP will be recalled and a by-election held.
Meanwhile the Gang of Eleven, who have betrayed their mandates (rather than merely lied to the police about a minor traffic offence), get away with it and can keep their seats (and their salaries) till the next General Election (scheduled for May 2022).
