Runcorn MP who punched man in street sent to jail for 10 weeks
Suspended Labour MP Mike Amesbury, January 11, 2025

AN MP who punched a man to the ground during a row in the street has been sentenced to 10 weeks behind bars.

Bail while he appeals was denied to Mike Amesbury MP, who has sat as an independent for Runcorn & Helsby since Labour suspended him after his arrest.

He pleaded guilty last month to assaulting Paul Fellows, 45, in Frodsham, Cheshire, in the early hours of October 26.
