Interesting news on Owen Patterson - facing a 30 day suspension for bringing Parliament into disrepute.
This for lobbying - 14 times - on behalf of a company paying him 3x his annual MP salary.
And if 10% of his constituents recall him?
By election in North Shropshire 😈

Should the house accept the committee report, and suspension be enacted (it normally is) then recall petition can take place: 
Mr. Patterson had a VERY large majority at the last election - 22,949, which was 62.7% of the vote.
At least 8,300 people would need to sign the recall petition.
