The debate is to take place in a committee room in Westminster Hall.
As far as I'm aware there's seating for around 20 MPs.
This is standard practice for petitions with 100k + signatures for the UK Parliament’s Petitions Committee
It is NOT a debate followed by a vote in the main commons chamber.

First of all, piss off, washed-up journo.
Second of all, Boris Johnson didn’t resign when Dominic Cummings resigned. He stayed on for another year and a half until he was sacked for deliberately misleading Parliament.

Sarwar stayed a close pal of Mandelson despite his relationship with paedophile Epstein. Sarwar has not suspended Labour MSP Pam Duncan-Glancy, despite her continuing friendship with a convicted sex offender?

Yup. Labour set up the Scottish electoral voting system specifically to prevent an SNP majority. 2011 was a freak, and is very unlikely to be achievable again.

UK trains, including in Scotland, are all rented.
It is the most profitable part of the rail network and was privatised in 1993-1997.
Now we rent £9bn worth of trains which last for 25 years, for £3bn a year.
It is the worst deal ever.
