Non custodial obviously.MP Mike Amesbury being sentenced for punching constituent in street
Sentencing due at any moment. Let's see what happens
Not suspended?wow, 10 weeks in prison for the MP (formerly Labour, now independent). I wasn't expecting that. It seems appropriated for the severity of the attach, which was fortunate not to cause permanent injury, or even be fatal
Come on .. it was handbags at dawn. The bloke he punched is hardly an OAP. He is probably embarrassed - see link below. He's been sent down to warn other MPs to behave themselves as an an example and Kier Starmer has asked the magistrate to go hard on him so that it can't be called a two tier judiciary.wow, 10 weeks in prison for the MP (formerly Labour, now independent).

Should’ve have been ten months compared to what hurty words get you.wow, 10 weeks in prison for the MP (formerly Labour, now independent). I wasn't expecting that. It seems appropriated for the severity of the attack, which was fortunate not to cause permanent injury, or even be fatal
Hardly handbags! Punching him to the ground and then punching 4-5 more times! Does it matter he was not an OAP?Come on .. it was handbags at dawn. The bloke he punched is hardly an OAP.

Constituent sucker-punched by Labour MP breaks his silence
The bloke who got a slap was pissed up as well, said something provocative and the MP who was pissed up lashed out. In terms of what happens on the streets it’s not crime of the century- the victim seems fine, his ego is probably bruised more than his elbow.Hardly handbags!

10 weeks I believe , should have been 10 months though !The bloke who got a slap was pissed up as well, said something provocative and the MP who was pissed up lashed out.

The MP gone down for 10 months so everybody’s happy.
I stand corrected- yes 10 weeks.10 weeks I believe , should have been 10 months though !
He may become someone’s special friend 😳I stand corrected- yes 10 weeks.
I think it should have been 6 months given his public position and He will only serve half.
There will be no portraits of Starmer on anything ever. His own mum wouldn't even want one. Pure jealousy from a man who will achieve precisely nothing as PM, except alienating half the population, and annoying the other half.
One of the many things that make me a bit upset about this case. I wonder how much work he'll get done in jail. Probably as much as when he was 'working from home', or any of the other MPs.Don't worry he will still be paid
