Amesbury, 55, admitted the charge after punching a man to the ground on a night out in Frodsham, Cheshire

Mike Amesbury, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby, has been sentenced to 10 weeks in prison for punching a man to the ground.

Amesbury, who was suspended by the Labour party after an investigation, last month admitted a single charge of section 39 assault in relation to the incident after a night out in his constituency.
