A man who abused Pudsey MP Stuart Andrew in a crude e-mail after the politician was butted at Westminster by a rival has been fined £110 and ordered to pay £100 costs.

Nicholas Scales told Conservative MP Stuart Andrew he should “stop wasting police time”, Leeds Magistrates’ Court heard yesterday.

Scales was also given a restraining order preventing him from contacting the MP directly or indirectly for 12 months.
