RE: https://mstdn.social/@stephenfarrow/116885930683264306 For anyone wondering what Reeves is going on about, MPs can't resign. However, taking on the position of the Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead (or the Chiltern Hundreds) automatically disqualifies someone from serving in the Commons by law, effectively meaning they can no longer be an MP. UK politics occasionally shows its archaic roots. This rule dates to 1623.
