So,Tories knew Menzies had alleged he was locked in a flat, demanded £6k from volunteer at 3.15am to pay his captors, then paid back £££ with Tory donations, then used more donations for private healthcare. These stories are wild.

But but but Rayner.

STINKS of desperation.

You don't become an MP without being approved by literally hundreds of officials and members at every level of the party.

I knew about Menzies. And all the others.

So if they didn't know, they're inept.

If they did know, they're corrupt.

Had an accident at work that wasn’t your fault?
Woken up off your tits in a flat to bad people demanding £5K from you?
If so, you might be entitled to compensation.

Richard Holden, the Conservative party chair, is the Tory attack dog behind the Angela Rayner allegations alongside Lord Ashworth, James Daly and Dan Hodges.

He has known about Mark Menzies’ behaviour for three months.

Has he reported him to the police?

My point is: it's the same people over and over again, being quietly pardoned by the same party bigwigs over and over again. And everyone in govt knows.

You can't keep claiming it's a bad apple. It's symptomatic of a party that is morally rotten to its very core.

In my book The Decade In Tory I recount reports of Mark Menzies hiring a Brazilian sex worker, showing him around the palace of Westminster, and asking him to buy them amphetamines.

And then another time, the police being called cos Menzies had ...

Martin says the conduct of MPs has reached an all time low and how political parties can improve the behaviour of MPs.

Mark Menzies: A Tory tale of stealing party funds to pay ransoms, pissed dogs, Brazillian sex workers, drugs and possible blackmail.

The second huge Tory scandal in a WEEK and the Tory rags are focused on Rayners council house, because this is how the client media works.

Farrukh Bruce, biased, as always. A question of tax is a matter for the HMRC, not the police.

Stealing Party donations is a matter for the police, not Sunak.

MPs compromising national security is a matter for M15.

Let's have some perspective.

Holden and Hart - 2 men who have hidden Menzies story since early January
Action should be taken against both - if Sunak was unaware - if Sunak was aware he too should resign due to deliberate cover up

Pippa Crerar Anna Isaac So, Thames Water got into debt by borrowing lots and lots and lots of money, which it then gave to shareholders. As well as giving all their 'profits' to shareholders. And now the public have to cover that cost. Explain why privatised monopoly utilities are a good thing?

EXCL: Thames Water could be renationalised with bulk of its £15.6bn debt added to public purse Anna Isaac reveals theguardian.com/business/2024/…

7 years ago, I wrote a small piece about a man who was falsely accused of a crime.

A few days later, I got an anonymous telling me to look up the woman they called “the evilest white woman on earth.”

What happened next is the absolute wildest story you’ll ever hear

A thread

National media wasn’t even on this story. But I just looked where they told me to look.

The only reason I thought about this was that when I woke up this morning, one of them had texted me this:

“Look what we did…

No one else.

Just us.”
