During an interview on Sky News on Monday 12 June, following former Prime Minister Boris Johnson's resignation as an MP, Labour MP and shadow secretary of state for business and industrial strategy Jonathan Reynolds said that a recall petition succeeds if 'ten thousand constituents vote for it'. This isn't correct, and Mr Reynolds' office has since told Full Fact that he misspoke. In order to succeed, a recall petition requires the signatures of 10% of the eligible registered electorate in an MP's constituency.
