Mike Amesbury, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby, has pleaded guilty to a charge of section 39 assault following an incident involving physical altercation captured on CCTV.
Amesbury admitted hitting his victim, Paul Fellows, in the face, knocking him to the ground, and subsequently delivered several more blows while shouting threats.
After the incident, Amesbury publicly stated he felt threatened during the night and described the occurrence as 'deeply regrettable,' while resisting calls to resign.
Suspended by the Labour party shortly after the video was published, Amesbury had previously served as a shadow minister and holds positions on two parliamentary committees.
