No Karen darlin' - 'we' have no right of recall of an MP at the moment, once elected S/He is there for the period of the Government (five years), however recall of recalcitrant MPs is one of the things currently being discussed and allegedly is the 'sticking point' to the resolution of the issue relating to 'Lobbyists'.
As to Members of the House of Lords, since they are not elected, but appointed, no we have no control over them whatsoever, and they cannot ever be 'recalled'. The only solution is total abolition of the 'House of Lords' in its entirety.
