The Fylde MP is alleged to have used donor funds to cover medical expenses and pay off ‘bad people’ holding him hostage.
Labour has called for a police investigation into allegations that Fylde MP Mark Menzies misused campaign funds. Fylde MP Mark Menzies lost the Conservative whip after The Times published claims he had used political donations to cover medical expenses and pay off “bad people” who had locked him in a flat and demanded thousands of pounds for his release.
Referring to recent revelations regarding a “honeytrap” scandal in Westminster, she added: “It seems that yet again, like with the Member for Hazel Grove and so many other recent cases of sleaze and scandal, they’re too weak to act decisively and instead choose to brush things under the carpet.” The MP, who is one of Rishi Sunak’s trade envoys, is also said to have called his 78-year-old former campaign manager at 3.15am one day in December, claiming he was locked in a flat and needed £5,000 as a matter of “life and death”.
There are other occasions where Mr Menzies is said to have used money from the campaign fund to cover his personal expenses.
