Expenses fraudster Chris Davies MP to face by-election after constituents petition to remove him
Former Tory MP Chris Davies

EXPENSES fraudster Chris Davies lost his seat today after almost a fifth of registered voters in his constituency signed a petition to remove him.

The Tory MP was convicted for faking expenses claims after submitting two false expenses invoices for landscape photographs to decorate his new office.

Some 10,005 people signed the petition, well above the 10 per cent threshold — 5,303 people — needed for a recall.
