Shamed MP Eric Joyce Arrested After Brawl In Commons Bar

Shamed politician Eric Joyce was arrested following a late-night brawl at a bar in the House of Commons on Thursday night.

Last year Joyce pleaded guilty to assault after an incident in Parliament's Strangers Bar. He resigned from the Labour Party and said he would not contest the next General Election.
