Got what she deserved.

[jim360]

No. I don't think Onasanya has the good sense to leave on her own initiative. That doesn't mean that she can't be forced out, either at the next election or much more quickly via a recall petition.

She hasn't played the race card up her sleeve yet.....has she? Devious woman.

[ladybirder]

True. Under laws introduced in 2015, any prison term, even a suspended sentence, leads to a recall petition, which will be open for six weeks and can force a by-election if signed by 10% of voters in a constituency.

I'll be watching.

wow looks like Cleggy did do something useful when he had a sniff!

[ToraToraTora]

retro, I'll be amazed if she hasn't played the race card all along.

Probably be out after six weeks, but I guess it was better than nothing.

[Peter Pedant]

we do all realise that she was jailed for lying under oath ?
not speeding or picking her nose in public or anyfing

makes me always tell the troof to a judge, I just marvel at people who dont.
Perjury is better and is wheeled out if cases/verdicts have to be unwound ( = reversed and set to rights) and if convicted you start at 2 y jail

an MP who lies - well I can think of 635 others ter daaah !
The Maid of Ulster ( Bernadette Devlin) kept her seat whilst in the slammer ...

done in by her criminal brother ( sozza: bruvva) who agreed and said he had and then .... said he hadnt
oo-er Mrs ! well he has a record so you cant expect HIM to tell the truth

Perverting the course of justice. Huhne and Pryce both got 8 months for the same thing.

^ Why the massive difference in the sentencing?

[Peter Pedant]

I thought they all got the same stuff
it is not as tho they cut her fingers off or tazered her on a weekly basis

[youngmafbog]

I think we all know why the difference in sentencing.

This lady needs to go, there is no way anyone like this should hold public office.

I am still surprised she is actually going to jail though.
