Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives face another by-election battle after MP Peter Bone was kicked out by his constituents on Tuesday, posing a further test of the embattled Prime Minister heading into a General Election next year.
Constituents in Wellingborough had until 5pm to add their names to a recall petition, which was sparked when Mr Bone was suspended from the Commons for six weeks after an inquiry found he had subjected a staff member to bullying and sexual misconduct.
