Labour MP Mike Amesbury Repeatedly Punches Man to the Ground

The Left wing Member of Parliament is seen talking to a man at 2.15 on Saturday morning before launching a barrage of punches at him , MP for Runcorn and Helsby Mike Amesbury has said in his defence that he felt 'threatened' by the man but I see no provocation in the video that deserves such an offensive reaction.

This is the shocking moment Labour MP Mike Amesbury punched a male constituent and hit him repeatedly while he lay on the ground. He had yesterday claimed he was 'threatened' before the attack at 2.15am on Saturday morning in his constituentcy of Runcorn and Helsby, Cheshire. But CCTV footage exclusively obtained by the Mail shows him launching a punch seemingly without physical provocation and then continuing to hit the man six times while he lay on the ground

I'd pay to see him and Prescott in the ring.

I'd like to see him in court , Starmer is quick to imprison people for writing words on the internet lets see how he handles one of his MP's throwing punches at constituents in the early hours of the morning.

Peter Lynch got 2 years 8 months for using nothing but words.

Nice one Gortex,I thought this deserved its own thread.

Amazing behaviour from an MP-He looked pissed up but thats no excuse.

Once the guy was on the ground-he was no longer a threat-if he ever was,which he did not seem to be with hands in pockets and facing away from the MP.
Those punches while he was on the ground look like agravated assault.

Blanket CCTV,loved by authoritarian regimes can sometimes have benefits for average Joe,as hopefully will be the case here.
The BBC might even reluctanly report the story!

CCTV appears to show Labour MP punching man to ground

no doubt as hes a politician he wont even be charged, the usual rich and privileged defence will apply

Mike Amesbury has been suspended by the Labour Party after CCTV footage showed him punching a man in the street.

A Labour Party spokesperson said: "Mike Amesbury MP has been assisting Cheshire Police with their inquiries following an incident on Friday night.

"I will not be making further public comment but will, of course, cooperate with any inquiries if required by Cheshire Police," he added.

The force said officers were called at 2.48am on Saturday to reports of an assault in Main Street, Frodsham.

"A caller reported he had been assaulted by a man in Main Street. Inquiries are ongoing," it said.

Violence from the left wing?!? I am shocked. At least it wasn’t one of those far right KKK types you hear so much about , amirite?

Nothing good happens after midnight 😐

That thug should be doing a stretch.

Labour MP's seem to have a habit of punching their constituents. I trust this thug will be treated with Starmers swift justice, you know like those that wrote a few hurty words on social media and got 3 years bird.

Just watched it and I can see a defence for the MP. The bloke he suckered had his hands in his pocked. Amesbury should be charged with ABH.

The Left wing Member of Parliament.

Can we please go back to calling them the " Looney Left ". It seems far more apt these days.

a reply to: gortex

I'm an American so I feel totally unqualified to give my worthless opinion.
Best of luck

Take a hint

The more of this story that emerges the more it seems like,

In Vino Veritas: In Wine, There is Truth . . . How many of us have woken up the next morning questioning ourselves–“Did I really just do that?”

I'd like to see him tested for coc aine. I'd like to see them all tested for coc aine, bearing in mind the synthetic coc aine that all the idiots are using tests exactly the same but does more brain damage.

Cheshire Police have now handed their file of evidence on the Mike Amesbury case to the Crown Prosecution Service.

Because of his position as a member of parliament, the case has been passed to the special crime division of the CPS in London, rather than the local department in the North West of England.

We can but await their decision.

The Crown Prosecution Service's special crime division have looked at the evidence and charged Mike Amesbury with common assault.

Rosemary Ainslie, head of the Crown Prosecution Service's special crime division, said: "Following a review of the evidence provided by Cheshire Police, we have authorised a charge of common assault against Mike Amesbury MP, 55.

"The charge follows an alleged assault in Frodsham, Cheshire, on Saturday, 26 October 2024.

"The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial."
