A Labour MP has been suspended after appearing to repeatedly hit a constituent on a night out.
Mike Amesbury had the whip removed and his Labour membership revoked after CCTV footage appeared to show him knock a man to the ground and hit him several times.
There were immediate calls for a by-election in Mr Amesbury’s Cheshire constituency, while he risked accusations of hypocrisy because he previously demanded tough sentences for rioters and people who assaulted shop staff.
