MP Mike Aimsperi, a former member of the Labor Party, announced his decision to resign in parliament in a development that brings Prime Minister Kir Starmer faced with his first intermediate electoral test. The vacant seat is expected to become a battlefield between Nigel Faraj’s labor and reform UK.

Aimsper’s decision comes after his sentence of 10 weeks in prison last month. The MP was at the center of the publicity when, under the influence of alcohol, he punched a citizen on the street. His suspension by the party was immediate, and the pressure for his resignation was rapidly intensified.
