@MGorehound59225@peterbotting He would stay as that’s convention but a replacement PM could not cancel the election after the dissolution has occurred and writs are issued.
@Ocar2z9g It’s not the resources that matter here.
It’s Josh Simons, close friend of McSweeney and ally of Starmer, resigning so Burnham can stand in an area that recently voted overwhelmingly for Reform at council level.
Feels almost intentional.
@RedWallPleb@Nolberto099@PolitlcsUK Not completely true. For this vote to introduce a Bill to parliament they’re required to vote Yes in order to advance debate. Other than that they’re required to maintain the status quo, so they’d vote No
@Nolberto099@RedWallPleb@PolitlcsUK But this vote was only to introduce to to Parliament, not into law. If it went any further they’d be mandated to vote No
@MAKtGWB1@PolitlcsUK Not how Parliament works. This was a vote to simply introduce a private members bill to Parliament, not to pass anything into law. Likely won’t make it any further
