Labour’s suspended MP Mike Amesbury has pleaded guilty to assault by beating in court today after punching a man in a late-night bust-up in Cheshire.
Amesbury admitted to punching 45-year-old Paul Fellows in Main Street in Frodsham, Cheshire, which was reported to police at 2.48am on October 26 last year.
The Runcorn & Helsby MP had the Labour whip removed in late October after multiple videos of the assault emerged on social media.
The 55-year-old was summonsed to Chester Magistrates’ Court today to face a section 39 assault charge after a file was passed to prosecutors on October 29 – three days after the attack.
