Starmer 'frustrated' by allegations against Tory MP Mark Menzies
The Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has questioned why it took so long for the Conservative Party to launch an investigation into the MP Mark Menzies.
Mr Menzies is alleged to have used thousands of pounds given by donors to fund medical expenses.
He is also alleged to have made a late-night call to an elderly aide asking for financial help because he had been locked up by "bad people" demanding money for his release, according to The Times.
Mr Menzies denies the claims.
The party's chief whip Simon Hart is said to have been made aware of the claims in January, when the former campaign manager reported what had allegedly happened.

Why does anyone think an ex DPP and criminal barrister would say they have complete confidence in someone if they haven't already checked the evidence or in this case the clear lack of. It's galling that the Tory MP who made the allegations wont repeat them out of Parliament for fear of a defamation charge.
The Tory MP in question wont even say what the allegations are, that he set out in HIS OWN letter to the police, even though doing so would not be defamatory - and he knows it. It's just a desperate attempt to smear the Labour part in order to distract us from the s**t-show that is the current Tory government. As a lawyer Starmer will already have a pretty good idea about the so called "evidence" against Rayner, which is why he has confidence in her.
Drizzle
It seems to me saying he has not checked the evidence is his escape route, he can claim he was badly advised/lied to. In saying that I think the whole story is bogus.
Menzies could get advice from Bone, Pincher and Wragg. Neil Parrish could also offer some useful advice.
Menzies has been a parliamentary aide to three Tory ministers - but resigned the last of these roles in 2014, after a newspaper reported allegations from a Brazilian male escort that he paid him for sex and asked him to buy an illegal drug. At the time, Mr Menzies said a number of the allegations were untrue and he "looked forward to setting the record straight".
Setting the record yeah right
Why do politicians always larp as the working man 😂
We was only playing leapfrog 🎶
So many Oligarchs in this Country. And journalists do their duty 🤮🤮poor woman.WOW
NO WHERE NEAR AS 'FRUSTRATED' AS WE THE PEOPLE ARE WITH DYSFUNCTIONAL POLITICIANS.
Lots unanswered question regards Rayners council house sale..but your not looking at them Penfold
hi . Its Rent Boyz in londonstan . Hav a hold of menziez. got in with wrong bottom boyz
No sleaze please! oops. The depths of this story have not even been scrapped yet, let alone dredged. It likely goes deep enough to implode a submersible
Trying to make us forget about Mrs Rayner I assume
Daily Mail distraction. Rayner not in the same league as Menzies caper!
We already have,it's more Tory corruption.
Daily Mail moron material
Spot on
What is it with politicians and their cosplay?
He's wearing PPE? That's hardly cosplay, and on many of the sites MP's will visit its a H&S requirement.
@@monged4life442 A jacket isn’t PPE.
More and more prime ministerial by the day. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Starmer is the answer!
to what question though ?
@@funbegins2371Who is the most boring politician in history?
Couldn’t answer the question “what is a woman “ could he? God help us with this clown in charge. Same as we already have!
Yup, Starmer the man who let Jimmy Saville slip through the net, he's the man for the job of running the country, nobody knew about Jimmy Saville, honest.
Is this guy for real!! What about Angela's unanswered questions 🤔 Everyone, please understand that labour and conservatives are exactly the same as each other
How out of touch they are
But let's not pick on Angela Raynor
She has already been investigated and the police didn’t find anything. How many corrupt Tories have already had to resign?
It would take 1,764 Angela Raynors to equal Michelle Mone's £60M scam, but hey yeah, let's all talk about Angela.
@@tim66612343they are idiots aren't they. It's people like this clown that vote the torys in time after time. Cz they think it's a left Vs right thing rather than a we the people thing.
@@tim66612343 she is being investigated of multiple offences, some of which carry prison sentence
Please wise up.
🤣🤣🤣Such a hypocrite. Allegation, no evidence just smear. Rayner not frustrating? Vote Liebour.
Doesn't look good for either frankly.
Why can't James Daily, the Tory Party deputy chairman, and the person who reported Angela Rayner to the police, not explain what it is she's supposed to have done wrong?
@@David_Bower Liebour deflection. And hypocrisy.
@@David_Bower Not paying the CGT on the property she sold. Breaking Electoral Law.
