Salvation from Parliament can be found at the bottom of a lake in Scarborough’s Peasholm Park.
That’s because, despite the common parlance, MPs cannot technically resign. In his new book, political journalist and comic Matt Chorley reminds us that rules dating back to 1624 ban it - so in a sticky situation, the only recourse to one’s removal is expulsion, a recall petition, disqualification or death. Of these, disqualification is perhaps the most savoury.
Chorley adds: “So on the radio show, I started talking about what other other slightly obscure places would a tour of political nerds take take in?” In the book that followed, subaquatic manor houses are not the only Yorkshire locations included which have been pivotal to what goes on in Westminster. The current premier, Rishi Sunak, is of course MP for Richmond in North Yorkshire and Chorley particularly likes a story associated with Tennants auction house in Leyburn.
