Labour MP Mike Amesbury Suspended Over Alleged Assault

Video footage shows Amesbury punching a constituent, leading to a police investigation and calls for his resignation.

Mike Amesbury, Labour MP for Runcorn and Helsby, has been suspended from the Labour Party after a video surfaced showing him punching a man during an altercation.
The incident occurred in Frodsham, Cheshire, following a heated discussion reportedly about local bridge closures and winter fuel allowance cuts.
Cheshire Police have interviewed Amesbury under caution, and he has been released pending further inquiries.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the footage as 'shocking,' and Labour acted swiftly to suspend Amesbury from the party.
Amesbury claimed he felt threatened during the incident and has expressed willingness to cooperate with the police investigation.
