"Yet ANOTHER Scandal” MP Mark Menzies Loses Tory Whip Over Claims He Misused Campaign Funds
An MP has lost the Conservative whip while the party investigates claims he misused campaign funds. Mark Menzies is alleged to have used thousands of pounds given by donors to fund medical expenses and to have made a late-night call to a 78-year-old aide asking for help because he had been locked up by “bad people” demanding money for his release. The Fylde MP disputes the allegations reported by The Times but the Conservative Party is looking into the claims and taking them seriously. A spokeswoman for Chief Whip Simon Hart said Mr Menzies had “agreed to relinquish the Conservative whip, pending the outcome of an investigation”, meaning he will now sit as an Independent MP.
