Mark Menzies. Sir Keir Starmer says police 'should be involved' in allegations suspended Tory MP misused campaign funds

Sir Keir Starmer said police should be involved in the case of suspended Tory MP Mark Menzies, who faces allegations he misused campaign funds. The backbench MP for Flyde in Lancashire has 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.

' Mr Wragg gave up the whip last week after he admitted to The Times he had given his colleagues' phone numbers to someone he met on a dating app. The senior backbencher apologised and said the person 'had compromising things on me. They wouldn't leave me alone'. Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt declined to comment on the specific cases, but said the issues raised by Ms Powell were 'very serious matters'.
