Rejected petition Hold Stewart Jackson MP accountable over lying to voters in the Brexit campaign

Journalist Rupert Myers was told to "suck it up" by Stewart Jackson MP after pointing out that the leave campaign had won the referendum with a campaign based on a foundation of lies. We do not wish to tolerate lies from those we elect to represent us, nor do we wish to see them brag about it.

More details

This isn't the first time this MP has shamelessly laughed in the face of the voting taxpayer. Here is some background on an expenses scandal he was at the centre of. Make our MP's accountable and make an example out of Stewart. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5310312/MPs-expenses-Stewart-Jackson-admits-claim-for-pool-work-was-excessive.html

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

There's no mechanism by which the House could hold Mr Jackson to account. If you want to create one, you could start a new petition about that. You would need to ensure that it calls for clear, specific action.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
