He is looking for work with trade unions or in politics.

Updating his CV on LinkedIn, the 56-year-old wrote: “Hi everyone. I’m seeking a new role and would appreciate your support.”

He was sentenced to ten weeks in jail, later suspended, for the assault.

The MP, who resigned his Labour membership, previously described the attack as “highly regrettable”.

Footage showed Amesbury attacking Mr Fellows, who he knew from school, in Cheshire in the early hours of October 26.

The court hear the pair had engaged with each other for “several minutes” before the violence erupted at a taxi rank after a night of boozing.

His lawyer said Amesbury has experienced “shame and embarrassment” over the attack.
