So he's being investigated again. But it doesn't say what would happen if he were found guilty. I imagine he won't actually be kicked out of office or banned as a candidate.

If he is found guilty then he is not immediately kicked out of office. If the (can't remember the official name) ethics panel finds that he deserves a suspension from parliament that is long than 10 days (pretty sure that's the number) THEN he can be forced to step down and this trigger ANOTHER by election which will cost the government another £250k this asshat just costed us.

You're thinking of the House of Commons Committee on Standards!
