But that cannot become an excuse for a wider lack of transparency and accountability","additional_details":"More broadly, I believe the Government’s handling of crime and illegal immigration raises serious questions about Shabana Mahmood’s record as Home Secretary. \r\nThe Home Secretary holds one of the most important offices in Government. The public should expect responsibility, decisive action and accountability when serious issues arise.\r\nIf Shabana Mahmood is unwilling or unable to provide that leadership, then the Prime Minister should replace her.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":14,"created_at":"2026-09-27T17:40:37.375Z","updated_at":"2026-10-12T10:51:15.149Z","rejected_at":"2026-10-12T10:51:13.846Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-09-27T18:44:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"honours","details":"We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for elected representatives or public servants to resign or be removed from office."},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
