This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't publish petitions about honours or appointments. That includes calling for MPs to be sacked or suspended.

Decisions about suspending MPs are taken by the House of Commons following investigations by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards and consideration by the Committee on Standards.

You can find out more about this process in the Code of Conduct for MPs: publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/cmcode/1882/1882.pdf

Deciding whether to name an individual charged with a crime is a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service.
