I've seen a few videos of him having a bit of a pop at the chap. Without context it looks rather damning for Amesbury, difficult to see how he continues in the seat after that really. Who'd be an MP, especially in these febrile times? |

Not seen that one shared more widely, maybe the video owner is negotiating with the national press to sell it I thought that video has been doing the rounds since Sunday? |

No, there's another one. A third. Not the CCTV footage from the taxi firm, nor the "original" footage with the threats. This is the angle. |

Yep, that's the one. That for me is the most damning. This isn't a two-way scuffle, or at least from that clip it doesn't look it. Pretty decent restraint on behalf of the guy getting punched to be honest, I'd expect him to be fitter than Amesbury.

Bus cap raised from £2 to £3. The idea of releasing budget policy via news rather than parliament started then.

Perhaps I'll be considered a bit po-faced or sanctimonious, but I'm a bit disappointed if we think this is a normal "entitlement" for a 55 year old member of society of how to behave in public, never mind a public servant? I might excuse it of a teenager/ 20s as ignorance, thought it very bad behaviour when I did it in my 30s, but public inebriation seems completely unacceptable of anyone with any amount of life experience to me - it costs the NHS through health, often emergency services through poor behaviours and wider society in many cases, this being a prime example. I don't think an MP is entitled to be publicly drunk, no. If you can't hold yourself to a reasonable standard don't take a tax payer salary. |
