Yeah, I bet the price of a lettuce has tanked due simply to reputational damage.

Reminds me of Edwina Currie, she finished up with egg on her face.

Revealed: Tory MP allegedly demanded campaign cash to pay ‘bad people’
Billy Kenber, Senior Investigations Reporter
A Tory MP is under investigation over allegations that he misused campaign funds and abused his position after making a late-night phone call saying he’d been locked up by “bad people” who were demanding thousands of pounds, The Times can reveal.

Mark Menzies, the Conservative MP for Fylde and a government trade envoy, rang an elderly local party volunteer at 3.15am in December saying he was locked in a flat and needed £5,000 as a matter of “life and death”. The sum, which rose to £6,500, was paid by his office manager from her personal bank account and subsequently reimbursed from campaign funds raised from donors.

£14,000 given by donors for use on Tory campaign activities had previously been transferred to Menzies’s personal bank account

To be fair, using Tory campaign funds to pay off a bunch of amateur kidnappers is a better use than what it was intended for.

Seems to be a day full of Tory stories today. Like Buses 2 turn up together.

As well as the "Bad People" story theres also the Council Leader doing bad stuff to women story.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-68829156

 

A council leader is facing allegations that he kicked, punched, spat at and throttled women.

 

But lets focus on Angela Raynors council house story and try and make something bad stick out of it instead.

You can focus on Angie Rayner, if you want.

Well that makes your post above a bit ironic.

Do you think that James Daly MP will be as quick to refer Mark Menzies to the police as he was with Angela Rayer?
