Amesbury, who Removal of the labor whip In October, an appeal was initiated, and the judge said that although the sentence had “occupies a place”, it should be suspended.

Judge Steven Everett sat with two magistrates at Chester Crown Court and ordered Amesbury to do 200 hours of unpaid work.

Amesbury also had to conduct an alcohol monitoring program, anger management courses, and perform 20 days of rehabilitation.

His verdict still puts the 55-year-old MP now an independent person at risk of being removed.

In a prepared statement issued in a police interview, Amesbury claimed he had been “screamed” by a man about local and national affairs, the court heard.

The MP said that because he was scared, another person’s “weapons were swaying”, he felt that he had no choice but to “defend” himself.

But the judge told him that CCTV pictures revealed a completely different story.

“You actually told the police a pack of lies. That’s all,” he said.

Judge Everett questioned why the prosecution did not file a lawsuit (can carry a longer sentence).

Daniel Travers, who defends Amesbury, told the court: “He has three nights in jail now, which is an experience he will never forget.”

He said “public humiliation” and “embarrassment” had a huge impact on his clients.

“This is someone who will definitely recover,” Mr. Travers said. “He will learn a very painful lesson.”

Amesbury’s imprisonment confirmation, even if it has been suspended now, could still lead to his removal.

The long-time labor politician has been an independent MP for the past four months after the party boss was suspended.
