Cheshire

Macclesfield MP Tim Roca claims organised crime gangs have been stealing the systems from tractors and combine harvesters in Cheshire to sell to Eastern Europe.

The Runcorn and Helsby MP was suspended and lost the Labour whip on Sunday after a clip appears to show him punching a man.

The party announced its decision on Sunday evening, after CCTV footage emerged of Mr Amesbury appearing to punch a man as they stood talking in the street.
