'There is still much more to be done', Christian MP plans to stay in Parliament despite conviction

Fiona Onasanya said her constituents in Peterborough could "rest assured" she would continue to remain their representative and fight injustice.

Reflecting on her involvement in politics to date, the 35-year-old wrote in the Peterborough Telegraph: "It's an honour to be your voice for change over an incredibly consequential period of British politics."

Ms Onasanya described her role in battles over issues including Brexit and Universal Credit - as well as local matter concerning working conditions at a warehouse and the planned closure of a tax office.

She continued: "While it has been a successful year fighting back against these injustices, there is still much more to be done, and you can rest assured that I will continue to do so as your representative in the corridors of power."

Ms Onasanya is due to be sentenced next month after being found guilty at the Old Bailey on 19th December of perverting the course of justice.

The solicitor, who made no mention to her conviction in her latest newspaper article, would lose her parliamentary seat if she is jailed for twelve months or more.

Ms Onasanya was suspended by the Labour Party which said in a statement that she should resign her position as MP for Peterborough.

Earlier this month, Premier reported how Ms Onasanya compared her position to that of Biblical figures Joseph, Moses and Daniel.
