'Plebgate' officer gets 12 months in prison

A police officer who lied about witnessing the Plebgate row was jailed for 12 months today.

Keith Wallis, 53, of West Drayton, west London, sent an email to Conservative deputy chief whip John Randall, who was his MP, wrongly claiming that he had seen what happened as Andrew Mitchell left Downing Street on September 19, 2012.
