Fiona Onasanya, the MP jailed for repeatedly lying about a speeding ticket, is to have her three-month prison sentence reviewed after a complaint that it is unduly lenient. The sentence follows her conviction in December for perverting the course of justice.
The attorney general’s office will re-examine the decision by a judge at the Old Bailey.
Onasanya, the MP for Peterborough and a former Labour whip, has faced widespread condemnation for continuing as an MP. Both her former party and the Conservatives have called for her to stand down. Guardian.
