As far as I can tell, this is referring to this proposed amendment of the Representation of the People Bill:

https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/4080/stages/20676/amendments/10035247

So, not quite a petition for getting rid of FPTP per-se, but proposing an independent body is set up to determine the fitness for purpose of the current system, and suggest ways to make it fairer.

There's a little reading-between-the-lines needed.

I know Starmer used electoral reform as a platform when campaigning to become party leader, but I don't think it was in the actual manifesto when elections rolled around.

But you're right - he definitely seems to know what people want, and I'm as baffled by you by some of the choices he's made once in power.
