Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces a by-election test early in 2024 after a recall petition in Wellingborough met the 10 per cent threshold.

The Cabinet minister has faced questions over what he knew about Baroness Mone’s links to a firm that supplied faulty PPE during the pandemic.

If 10% of eligible voters in the Wellingborough constituency sign the recall petition, Mr Bone will lose his seat and a by-election will be called.

"Our system is set up to disempower people."

Polling by More in Common suggests close to three-quarters of Brits (73 per cent) want to see a General Election before May.

"I think we're in a very difficult period at the moment whereby getting the truth more broadly and more excessively, to our population, has been made deliberately much more difficult."

The former Tory peer faced calls not to return to the Lords after admitting she lied about her links to a controversial PPE firm.

Ms Cates faces claims she caused ‘significant damage to the reputation of the House’, but it is not known what the allegation relates to.
