Worth remembering on the Mark Menzies story, the Tory party have sat on this for three months, and only now it’s appeared in the press have they acted. So how many other stories are out there waiting to be discovered, I wonder?

Menzies had ‘borrowed’ £14,000 previously for ‘medical expenses’
It’s not known if this money was ever repaid.
Maybe he had a nasty swelling that needed taking care of, on a very regular basis.
Is he a good friend of Wraggs?

I see they have missed Miriam Cates,
As of December 2023, she is under investigation by the parliamentary commissioner for standards over claims she has caused "significant damage to the reputation" of the Commons and its members.
Considering how low the majority of the public view MPs, she must be a serial killer or something as bad,to have seriously damaged their reputation.
I can’t wait till we are allowed to know what she has been up to. It seems just being a vile right wing nut job is the least of her abhorrent personality traits.

Soon to cleared I'd imagine. It was all to do with an event during lockdown.
I bet she still votes Tory at the next election!

The watchdog for post-ministerial appointments said it "repeatedly" asked the ex-prime minister to clarify his relationship with Merlyn Advisors after a trip to Venezuela, but Mr Johnson's responses "lacked candour".
“According to the Institute for Government, while Acoba can publicly say when a former minister has breached the rules, it has no power to enforce sanctions, and it is left to the government of the day to decide on any action to be taken.”
Here is the action that need to be taken:
The first job for Sir Keir when he moves into No.10 later this year should be to take that lying ****’s ex-PM allowance and security detail away.

A cohort of Conservative MPs standing down before the next election have netted jobs worth millions of pounds and have taken dozens of all-expenses-paid trips funded by foreign governments and lobbyists, the Observer can reveal.

Outgoing Tory MPs take lucrative second jobs and ‘swan off on jollies’
Sixty-four serving Tory MPs and four independent MPs who lost the Tory whip have announced that they plan to stand down at the next election amid polling that suggests their party may face an electoral wipeout. But analysis by the Observer has found that 34 members of that group, the vast majority of whom are current or former ministers, listed a net total of over £2.5m of expected annual income in the register of MPs interests.At the top of the list was former justice secretary Brandon Lewis, who has taken on five new part-time roles worth £410,000 a year alongside his commitments as an MP. Former chancellors of the exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng and Sajid Javid registered work worth £98,600 and £321,000 a year respectively. In January, former deputy prime minister Dominic Raab registered a £118,000-a-year role working for private equity firm Appian Capital, for which he needed to work for roughly a week of every month.

Gorging as much as possible as their snouts are dragged squealing from the trough. But I guess people knew what they were voting for

Shells Braverman calling for the dismissal of MET Police Commissioner.
It’s a good job she has never heard how peaceful football fans are treated by the police.
I’ve been told I can’t cross roads, kept in grounds for up to an hour, told I can’t have a drink in certain pubs, told I can’t walk through certain areas.
And all to protect my own safety.
