Disgraced MP Fiona Onasanya has been released from prison less than four weeks after she was convicted of lying to police over a speeding ticket.

Onasanya denied being behind the wheel when her car was spotted being driven at 41mph in a 30mph zone in July.

She was found guilty of perverting the course of justice and served her sentence at Bronzefield Prison, Surrey.

The 35-year-old solicitor was expelled by the Labour Party but remains MP for Peterborough.

Onasanya's Nissan Micra was caught by a speed camera in Thorney, Cambridgeshire.

She was jailed for three months on 29 January having been convicted at the Old Bailey.

Her release comes a day after the attorney general's office rejected a complaint which said the sentence given to her was unduly lenient.
