and more on Wragg, who has been allowed to resign the Tory whip, rather than be fired with a loss of all (taxpayer funded) benefits

(and thats just resign from the Tory party and his preferential seats on committees NOT as a taxpayer funded MP)

‘Honeytrap’ MP William Wragg accidentally reveals WiFi password during photoshoot

 

Incompetence aside, Seems basic justice that he should be sacked with loss of all benefits and prosecuted.

He quite deliberately gave MPs contact details to a clearly criminal and/or foreign power actor,

and he knew and has briefed what he should have done. NO excuses.

Pact involves cutting security waiting times but also increasing numbers sent back

I see the Brexit-ish are again delaying  implementing their 'grate deal' 'protecting the UKs borders' that they pressed through with the wholehearted support of MPs like smugg - who is now one of the main moaners saying this inflation raising and business destroying 'great deal'  shouldn't be implemented.

Of course 3 of the benefits of NOT implementing the Brexitish grate deal as the Brexitish negotiated are:

 

1. Less UK businesses will collapse

2. UK inflation NOT increased by 0.6% (hence fiddling the figures to us scraping NOT being in a Brexit generated recession)

3. The problems will be dumped in labours lap after the GE

 

"Analysis by specialist credit insurance firm Allianz Trade said the removal of tariffs on the goods would reduce inflation by 0.6 percentage points, and cut import costs by close to 7 billion pounds ($8.8 billion) in nominal terms."

Oh - and dont forget - under WTO RULES - NOT applying tariffs has to apply to EVERYONE who doesn't have an alternate 'deal' - and most of which existing deals will undoubtedly be cancelled if its to the other parties benefit unless the UK unilaterally drop them

The UK doesn't apply tariffs as the Brexitish are incompetent - but other countries can - What a bonus for foreigners eh Brexitish?

- all as obvious and stated years ago in the other thread.

MP Mark Menzies loses Tory whip as party investigates claims he misused funds

"According to a source close to Mr Menzies, the MP had met a man on an online dating website and gone to the man’s flat, before subsequently going with another man to a second address where he continued drinking. He was sick at one point and several people at the address demanded £5,000, claiming it was for cleaning up and other expenses."

The sum, which rose to £6,500, was eventually paid by his office manager from her personal bank account and subsequently reimbursed from funds raised from donors

 

Never mind losing whip - how about criminal charges

The Fylde MP is alleged to have used campaign funds to pay off ‘bad people’ and cover medical expenses

 

ALSO According to the The Times, £14,000 given by donors for use on Tory campaign activities was transferred to Mr Menzies’ personal bank accounts and used for private medical expenses.

The MP, who is one of Rishi Sunak’s trade envoys, is also said to have called his 78-year-old former campaign manager at 3.15am one day in December, claiming he was locked in a flat and needed £5,000 as a matter of “life and death”.

 

Hes supposed to use funding from Taxpayers and doners for a life of service, not funding a life of drink and debauchery

Hope his parliamentary expenses are also investigated.

 

In fact, perhaps Mr Bates next role in life should be as an independent investigator of Parliamentary expenses?

Another one. Apparently this has been hushed up for about three months. They're working through their majority quite fast with all the sackings. Not that they've done anything about Menzies yet but he sounds like a blackmail risk.

Here's the original article.

According to the Graun, Menzies lost the whip yesterday evening.

They said they can't say much more for legal reasons.

[tobyjugg2]

Yep - lost whip as headline says

BUT apparently after Times article on various apparent misuses of funds was scheduled .. These actions of his uncovered by the Times were last year

[honeybee13]

As I said, his case sat around at CCHQ for three months. It sounds as if they're trying to string them out from the previous misdemeanour/sacking.

[tobyjugg2]

Or simply hoping they would evade/fade away from public awareness with no headlines?

 

When is a labour MP referring Jenrick to police for either breaking lockdown and lying about it and/or lying about his main residence/election registration fraud

I don't know how popular that would be now that time has passed.

I think a lot of people would be interested in trying to get back money from contracts supplying faulty PPE when they see people who had no experience in supplying it buying mansions. It's a mystery to me why Lady Moan is the only one being pursued.

[tobyjugg2]

Torys seem to think its worth while - cheap muckspreading while they get away with ACTUALLY doing it?

More the aspect of ensuring that when these tactics are used without justification - make sure your people aren't doing it more and worse or their crap spread on the waters ...

- mind you, the Tories would have to maybe even ease off on their using taxpayer and donor money to fund their preferred lifestyles wouldn't they? Maybe even do the jobs they are paid for?

Given Starmer's previous job he should know whether it's a police matter or not.

It's, err, interesting that Tory HO are happy to set Greater Manchester Police on Angela Rayner for £2-3k which has already been investigated but not think it's worth calling them in to investigate Menzies.
