Starmer criticises Conservative MP Mark Menzies’s “misbehaviour”
Police have been urged to investigate “unanswered questions” about the Conservative MP Mark Menzies after allegations that he misused thousands of pounds in campaign funds and abused his position.
The Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer criticised Menzies’s “misbehaviour” after a Times investigation detailed claims that he had made late-night phone calls to constituency volunteers asking for money to pay off “bad people”.

That's what we need ,our politicians to wear hi-vis clothing so we don't get stuck in dark rooms with them . They are a menace to society .

Guys, you are adrift. I don't want to hear MP's slagging off other MP's. I want to know what you stand for, what your policies are, we know you don't like each other, that is a given.

It all looks and sounds very real for the ones that believe that their politicians, government and Parliament care for them and are 'fighting' for their parties policies and coming against other party policies

...is he the MP at it with an illegal immigrant Rentboy....phoning people in the middle of the night to get the money to pay him off....but Angela Rayner......?
Dont live in the real world a lefty human rights lawyer is last person id vote for!
He's trying to distract from Angela Rainer the hypocrite. That said tbe guy being investigated is an arch remainer and Sunak supporter so happy to see someone like that in trouble.
Every time I see a politician in a hard hat or hi-viz doing a PR stunt I resolve never to vote for them!
I am sure Mr James Daly will make sure the Police will investigate this sleazy matter

@sallyraynor8984 ...hopefully Menzies will be arrested for 'employing' an illegal immigrant....funny how the Tories don't like using laws they introduced against their own...perhaps you could enlighten us on exactly what Rayner has done wrong...Daly looked very uncomfortable and wouldn't give an honest answer when questioned about his reporting it to the Police...even though it was outside the statute of limitations...perhaps you think paying an illegal immigrant for sex who'd been refused entry too the UK...ok...and btw I'm certainly not a lefty....but I think intelligent people know what you are......?
These politicians make me sick. They're more interested in self-serving and trying to score points over the opposition. Its about time they deal with the real issues. Pah!

Not sure,will ask rishi,will need time to get back to you on that one.
Starmer is on Teesside were the Tory Mayor gave away £560m and he dossnt mention it at all and is worried about £5000 by a Tory MP.
He should sort out his racist tax dogging colleges before complaining about others!
Not a fresh start with you - 😂😂

Does anyone else share this view why they wouldn’t vote for starmer? Starmer spends all his time and effort throwing mud at the opposition’s backs, criticising what they have done or failed to do. The public are perfectly capable of deciding for ourselves whether the government is doing a bad or good job. We don’t need him to tell us what we already know. Yes we would like someone to air our views, but that’s why each constituency has its own MP. They are perfectly capable of doing that on our behalf after all, that is their job. the country doesn’t need him, as the head of the party, to put the majority of his time and effort into painting the opposition in the worst possible light, what we need him to do is demonstrate that he can lead and have the solutions to making this country better. Demonstrate that he has a better way and call the opposition out why they wouldn’t adopt his solutions. Currently, starmer probably considers he does that already but his message is lost in all his criticism of the otherside. Consequently, all he is demonstrating is he is best placed being the opposition. This is because he is sending the message to the public that he should be the prime minister solely because of all the bad things he can identify and by default he’s the lesser of the two evils. This country doesn’t need or want someone that if they got into power hasn’t shown us what they could do when he doesn’t have anymore targets to throw mud at. no-one really knows what you propose to do to fix things because all the noise is about what the conservatives do wrong! So starmer, Stop throwing mud at people’s backs because it only shows your place is behind another party or leader, just following and criticising them. If you want to lead, then lead from the front man! The Uk is looking for a leader, not a regulator.
Meaning " please forget about Ange's little mistake 10 years ago".
Barmier saying naff all
Two ways to tell a politician is lying. 1, his/her mouth is moving. 2, he/she saying "I've followed the rules".
Oh... Distracting from Angela Rayner?
And you as DPP? No tax pension?

Good old Labour and their 'we aren't the tories who are meanies' mandate It's not really helped the country this
What a stupid comment. Why isn't Rayner suspended, she is after all under police investigation.
Sleezyness seems to be a big credential to be a labour or conservative MP. I thought we all new that? Vote anyone but them!

Hmmm (a) A person allegedly not paying £1500 capital gains tax when they sold their council flat years before they became an MP, versus (b) a standing MP and UK Trade Envoy being caught using campaign funds to pay off his rent boy and drug dealers…. And your take from this is; ‘both parties are useless? People that think like you are unfortunately a big part of the problem as you fall for the dead cat story every time!

Give Mr Starmer a tin of brasso for his brass neck. Look at Ms Rayner , she has not be suspended, so why is Labour not doing this, it shows how weak Starmer is. When it is a Tory being naughty you can , hear the baying of Labour party demanding justice.He should get his house in order, before criticising other peoples lapses
