Pleading not guilty, Spencer now sits as an independent after being stripped of his party whip. The trial, set to last 4-5 days, carries serious political stakes: a year or more in prison means automatic disqualification, while a lighter sentence could spark a recall. The Crown Prosecution Service confirms the case is active and urges against prejudicial commentary. The Groucho Club’s celebrity pedigree adds weight to the drama as the nation watches.
