A petition calling for another general election in the UK has more than 2.6 million signatures (at the time of writing).

The petition, which can be found on the UK Government and Parliament website, calling for another election was launched by West Midlands pub landlord Michael Westwood.

Mr Westwood, in the petition, says: "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."

More than 30,000 people in North Wales have signed the petition calling for another general election (see the breakdown below).

Its not just residents in the UK that have signed the petition, but people from overseas too including America and France.

The petition can be found on the UK Government and Parliament website and is open for signatures until May 2025.

Asked about the petition on ITV’s This Morning on Monday (November 25), Sir Keir said: “Look, I remind myself that very many people didn’t vote Labour at the last election.

“I’m not surprised that many of them want a re-run. That isn’t how our system works.

“There will be plenty of people who didn’t want us in, in the first place.

“So, what my focus is on is the decisions that I have to make every day.”
