Changing Faces of MPs Since GE2019

Posted on May 23, 2024

The 2019 Commons has been one of the more misbehaved for some time, with quite a number of MPs in all parties facing sanctions for their behaviour, and much more use of the still new recall procedure by voters.

This is a table that - I hope - summarises the changes. Any corrections then please see my socials for contact.

Posted withoput comment. There’s no need to waste words on those guilty. As always, those who were cleared, or at least who were found to be not quite so badly behaved as perhaps alleged, are somewhat rehabilitated. There arent many, and the political cost is useally still high for them.

(Apologies for the wide table here - you may need to scroll right to see it all)
