Independent Sheffield Hallam MP Jared O'Mara has said he will resign when parliament returns from its summer recess in September
At the time of his resignation from Labour, he revealed he had made three suicide attempts over the furore about his previous comments - and described himself as"the first autistic MP in our history".Earlier this week, in his announcement that he would be taking time off, he said that his mental health had deteriorated further and that he had become"unrecognisable".
Mr Arnold has been asked to stay in his post until a new MP takes the Sheffield Hallam seat, with a by-election to be triggered when Mr O'Mara resigns on 3 September. Olivia Blake, the party's candidate for the constituency, said she was determined to win the by-election.
