The man he hit neither threatened nor offered violence. It was an attack on a non-violent individual.

I'm glad he's been jailed, that was a dangerous-looking punch he threw, not a token jab.Terrible example.

Shameful behaviour; glad to see a custodial sentence awarded.

The right thing to do.

I assume he will now have to stand down as MP triggering a by election. Now that, if it happens will be interesting.

The right outcome

The right outcome for any MP who is found guilty of a crime that warrants a jail sentence.

Good. Dispicable behaviour who someone who should have known so much better!

Justice and a message to everyone I think.

Glad he got a custodial sentence. That’s the end of his career.

The suspended Labour MP has been jailed for 10 weeks for punching man in the street.

No doubt he will be out in 4-5 weeks.
