If you are referring to Tory MP Bob Stewart he wasn't jailed but was just given a £600 fine.

Bob Stewart, MP for Beckenham in south-east London, got into a row with Sayed Ahmed Alwadaei outside the Foreign Office's Lancaster House in Westminster on 14 December.
He will bejailed eventually unless he keeps his mouth shut from now on.
