A fathers' rights protester has been jailed for the part he played in a rooftop protest at the home of deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman.
Jolly Stanesby was jailed for two months after he and another Fathers 4 Justice protester, Mark Harris, scaled Miss Harman's semi-detached home in Herne Hill, south east London, in June, dressed in comic book hero outfits.
Stanesby, who was found guilty of causing distress and alarm and refusing to obey a police officer, was also fined £250 and ordered to pay £500 costs.

Harris was found guilty of causing distress and alarm and was given a conditional discharge and ordered to pay £500 in costs.
The two men, both from south Devon, mounted the protest which eventually led to Miss Harman and her husband Jack Dromey having to temporarily leave the premises.
The hearing was held at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in London.
