Today 19th October 2019 footage emerged of Diane Abbot clearly asleep in the Houses of Parliament during acruicial Brexit Debate.

I demand that Diane Abbott is immediately expelled for the Houses of Parliament and all of her benefits and privlidges revoked. This is a clear show of disrespect towards not only the House but the Government and the voting people of the United Kingdom.

A front bench shadow minister should have more respect for her colleagues and has shown a total lack of respect.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for MPs and Shadow Ministers to be sacked.
