Mike Amesbury reveals he has to wear 'alcohol tag' as 'devastated' MP officially quits Commons

Mike Amesbury has revealed that he now has to wear an "alcohol tag for 120 days" in an exclusive sit-down with GB News, hours before his official departure from the House of Commons.

Amesbury officially steps down as an MP today after he was handed a 10-week jail sentence for punching a constituent.

The former Labour MP’s sentence was suspended for two years, meaning he will not serve time behind bars but he has revealed that he will be forced to where an "alcohol tag" for 120 days and will be monitored for a year.

In an interview with Gloria De Piero, he explained: "That particular night I had been binge drinking, there is obviously an issue in regards to that."
