Bear in mind that this is a new procedure:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recall_of_MPs_Act_2015
The Recall of MPs Act 2015 (c. 25) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that makes provision for constituents to be able to recall their Member of Parliament (MP) and call a by-election. It received Royal Assent on 26 March 2015 after being introduced on 11 September 2014.
Unlike recall procedures in some other countries, the Act does not allow constituents to initiate proceedings. Instead, proceedings are initiated only if an MP is found guilty of a wrongdoing that fulfils certain criteria. This petition is successful if at least one in ten voters in the constituency sign. Successful petitions force the recalled MP to vacate the seat, resulting in a by-election.
So far, only three petitions have been initiated:
Recall petitions made under the act
Parliament Petition MP Cause Outcome
57th 2018 North Antrim recall petition Ian Paisley Jr 30-day suspension from the House Unsuccessful
2019 Peterborough recall petition Fiona Onasanya Custodial sentence of less than a year Successful
2019 Brecon and Radnorshire recall petition Christopher Davies Conviction for providing false or misleading expenses claims Pending
IIRC, Paisley's petition was signed by 9.4% of the electorate.

Re: Fiona Onasanya
HiMy view is quite simple.
MPs are not a protected species.
If I had lied in Court I would not only have been immediately sacked, I would have lost all my Pensions as well.
If you are in Public Life and taking Public Money, you have standards you must keep to.
If you do not, out you go.

Date set for by-election after MP oustedhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...shire-48132982
The by-election date was then announced after Labour moved a writ in Parliament on Thursday.
It remains unclear whether she will stand in the by-election, as she is permitted to do under recall rules introduced by David Cameron in 2015.
