STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSLONDON - British Prime Rishi Sunak could face the prospect of another difficult election for a potential vacant seat in parliament, after a lawmaker lost an appeal against a proposed eight-week suspension for groping two men at a London club.
Under British parliamentary ethics rules, a lawmaker facing a lengthy suspension can be removed by a petition from constituents, forcing a special election to fill the seat. Parliament will now vote whether to approve the eight-week suspension. If more than 10% of Pincher's constituents then sign a recall petition, he will lose his job.
Asked if Pincher should resign, Sunak's spokesperson said the government was clear about the importance of"integrity, professionalism and accountability" but it was a personal decision if he should resign.
