‘Application refused’: Judge bluntly denies jailed MP Mike Amesbury’s request for bail to appeal sentence.

Sentencing Amesbury, deputy senior district judge Tan Ikram said: “In this case an immediate custodial sentence is, in my judgment, necessary, as a punishment and a deterrent.”

However, shortly after passing sentence Richard Derby, representing Amesbury, asked the judge: “Is that an immediate sentence?”

The judge nodded, replied: “Yes,” and left the courtroom.

Amesbury was joined in the dock by two security guards to take him down to the cells.

From there he was taken to HMP Altcourse in Liverpool. Unlike many defendants, he did not appear to have a brought a bag of belongings with him.

But Mr Derby then requested the judge come back into court as he wished to make an application for bail for Amesbury, pending an appeal against his sentence.

Judge Ikram returned to court, sat down, paused briefly and said: “Application refused.”

LOBO loans, inept financial management, wasteful spending, overpaid officers...the list goes on and on.

Do we need to abolish Halton Borough Council? The unitary authority does not appear to be fit for purpose.

Would Widnes & Runcorn be better served as independent Boroughs?

The borough will be one of 30 councils to receive exceptional financial support (EFS), enabling it to take out loans to fund everyday spending.
