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”.

    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.

    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.
