    the 12 months is more to stop an MP losing their job over not paying their council tax, or too many speeding tickets

    To me that’s pretty bonkers. Twelve months is 20% of a full parliamentary term! It should be set at any non suspended custodial sentence. How can an MP represent their constituency from a prison cell? Are they going to hold surgeries in the visiting room?
