She won’t stand down unless she has to, that’s what hypocrites do. It’s hard to leave the trough once you’ve got your snout in it. X

Recall of MPs Act 2015 ....

- 2 examples (for balance ) Labour - Fiona Onasanya and Conservative - Christopher Davies.

Possible but unlikely.

I think if she's charged and found guilty, then she probably wouldn't get a custodial sentence.

She's not been fiddling her expenses.

That only leaves being suspended by the Speaker.

These are the only recourse to a recall petition.

Her constitunency is a labour/snp flip seat.

But the recall act only comes into play if the act you are being charged with carries a sentence of more that 9 months I think....

That’s not happening in this case

If the Standards Committee recommends and parliament votes a suspension of 10+ working days or 14 calendar days, a recall petition can be laid.

Custodial sentence greater than 1 year - automatically disqualifies MP - no need for petition. Sentence less than 1 year - triggers the recall process (1 in 10 sign petition in constituency)

The Fiona Onasanya case is probably the best example of the recall process in action (she was sentenced to only 3 months )

The Ian paisley jnr case was triggered by his suspension for 30days from the house - however the constituency petition didn’t reach the 1 in 10 number

But how long did it take? I wasn’t making reference to any political party in particular, they get suspended or resign the party whip & try to stay as long as they can x. & I’m not taking anything away from the many MP’s on all sides that do actually work on behalf of their constituents again on all sides x

In the case of Onasanya - found guilty December 2018 - sentenced January 2019 and removed from office May 2019 (after the recall petition in the constituency achieved nearly 28% )

Yes they went as far as the rules allowed. Unfortunately for the SNP she was one of their own and some will still make the link for a while

Good. Although it's not going to make the difference you hope it should.
