Runcorn

The Crown Prosecution Service is considering whether to bring charges against MP Mike Amesbury after a video emerged of him appearing to punch a man.

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.
