Claudia Webbe MP has lost her appeal at Southwark Crown Court against her conviction for harassing a love rival.
The 57-year-old, who is the MP for Leicester East, was found guilty on 13 October of harassment of a woman and sentenced to 10 weeks imprisonment, suspended for two years.
Webbe now sits as an independent MP after the Labour Party expelled her following her guilty verdict.
The MP was found guilty of targeting Michelle Merrit, 59, between September 2018 and April 2020.
Prosecutors said the 18-month harassment campaign was driven by “obsession” and “jealousy” over her boyfriend Lester Thomas’s relationship with executive assistant Ms Merritt.
