Is the general election petition 'hypocritical'? | LBC debate

Iain Dale speaks to LBC's political correspondent Aggie Chambre and Deputy leader of Reform UK Richard Tice as Sir Keir Starmer has brushed off demands for a new general election, despite two million people signing a petition.

Sir Keir appeared on ITV’s This Morning today to tell voters: “This isn’t how our system works.”

Michael Westwood, who started this petition, stated: “I would like there to be another General Election.

“I believe the current Labour Government have gone back on the promises they laid out in the lead up to the last election.”

But Sir Keir has ruled out calling another general election, adding that he was "not surprised" that some people who did not support Labour might want a second poll.
