She should resign immediately. Above all else we should expect MPs to be honest and set an example.
The evidence against the liar was compelling and from every conceivable direction, including from her associates.
Bizarre that crooks very rarely, no matter the evidence, say “I did it”.
Actually, the majority of accused people plead guilty (something like 65%).
Politicians are no different from anyone else, everybody is capable of lying irrespective of position.
Sad but true.
I just can't believe these people are prepared to jeopardise everything they've achieved in life for the sake of something so trivial.
If she gets more than 12 months, even if suspended, it triggers a by-election.

All that just to get out of a £60 fine.
Well exactly.
What on earth was she thinking? I got done by a camera a year or so ago and whilst it pissed me when I got the Notice of Intended Prosecution through the post it didn't even cross my mind for a moment to either appeal it in court or lie to avoid it. I just filled in the paperwork naming myself as the driver, paid the £100 quid on-line and put my licence in the post for the 3 points. Annoying, but all done and dealt with in 10 minutes, no come-back and no consequences and the points will expire in just under a year. No big drama.
This smacks of when Chris Huhne and his ex-wife, Vicky Pryce, did this sort of thing way back in 2013!
