Default Labour Wins By-Election 15th Thurs. Feb :Conservative MP Chris Skidmore has resigned

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67895246


[Conservative Chris Skidmore is quitting
as an MP over the government's energy plans,
triggering a by-election to replace him.
The former minister said he could not continue as a
Tory MP ahead of a vote on a bill on Monday
to guarantee annual oil and
gas licensing rounds.

The Kingswood MP added his "personal decision"
meant his constituents deserved
the chance to elect a new MP.]

He had already announced plans to leave Parliament at the next election.
