Another thirty or so of these and we can finally stop waiting for Sunak to stop squatting in no.10.
At this rate Rishi will lose his working majority before the next GE, only another 30 to go after Bone.
Labour will try to force a by-election in suspended Bones's seat

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Peter Bone, a former Conservative minister, has been suspended as an MP for six weeks, in a move that could trigger another byelection.
The Commons voted to approve the sanction after a watchdog found Bone had harassed and bullied a staff member and exposed his genitals near their face.
Bone denied the allegations and vowed in a statement released last week to continue serving as MP for the Northamptonshire seat he has represented since 2005.
Wellingborough should be a traditional Tory safe seat, given Bone won it with a 19,000 majority at the last general election.
However, greater majorities have been overturned by Labour and the Liberal Democrats in recent years as Rishi Sunak struggles to close the Conservative party’s substantial polling deficit.
Labour has won three byelections this month: Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire were taken from the Tories; Rutherglen and Hamilton West was taken from the SNP.
The original article contains 177 words, the summary contains 148 words. Saved 16%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
