He was banned anyway, in the end, for driving while using a mobile.
Sorry, Claig, I cannot begin to understand why we should hope he would get back into politics.
He has absolutely no regard for anyone else's safety, and in a democracy there should be no place in government for anyone who considers themselvs above the law

AF - As for her being possibly subject to manipulation etc - you realise many gang members join up because it is the only way they can see to keep themselves safe on their estates? They do stuff because older tougher gang members tell them. Are they an object of pity on MN? Or is it just women we feel deserve pity if put under pressure to do wrong? A woman with everything going for her, a woman with a huge salary of her own who certainly does not depend on his income (as many abused women feel they do)? Yes, she may have been a fool for love, felt her family would be better off without the 'MP Banned!' headlines, but that is no defence in law.
As for the people worrying about the poor son having his texts read out - he would have been called as a witness in CH's trial and almost certainly will in hers.
I hope she doesn't go to prison, I really do. But I don't see why she should be exonerated unless there is evidence of serious threats, fear, abuse etc.
I also hope that those women on MN who have shrugged and said 'I took points for DH/DP' on the various threads about speeding fines will take identifying details of themselves off their profiles, and any future woman who starts a thread like 'DH wants me to take his points' will see how serious this is.
