Labour MP Mike Amesbury has been charged with common assault after an alleged incident involving a 45-year-old man on Main Street in Frodsham, Cheshire, last month. Cheshire Police confirmed that Amesbury, 55, will appear in magistrates court later today to face the charge.
In response to the charge, the Labour Party has suspended Amesbury, who represents Runcorn and Helsby, pending the outcome of legal proceedings.
Amesbury’s case is now before the court, and all parties involved are reminded to respect the legal process as it progresses.
