Table a motion of censure in Jeremy Corbyn for wasting parliamentary time

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Jeremy Corbyn has tabled a no-confidence motion in the Prime Minister. This will not achieve anything as it cannot force a General Election. Therefore, it is a waste of Parliamentary time which could better be used discussing other matters.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because motions tabled by the Leader of the Opposition aren't something that the UK Government or House of Commons as a whole is responsible for.
