💨 Abstract

Former Labour MP Mike Amesbury has announced his resignation from parliament due to being convicted for punching a constituent, triggering a by-election. The incident occurred after a night of drinking in Cheshire last October. Runcorn and Helsby, his constituency, is a Labour stronghold, but the seat is now being closely watched due to the rise of new party Reform.
