Lancashire police ‘reviewing’ letter relating to Mark Menzies allegations

MP lost Conservative whip after claims he used political donations to pay off ‘bad people’

Lancashire police have said they are “reviewing” a letter in relation to allegations against the Fylde MP, Mark Menzies, who is accused of misusing campaign funds.

Menzies lost the Conservative whip and was suspended as one of Rishi Sunak’s trade envoys this week after the Times published claims he had used political donations to cover medical expenses and pay off “bad people” who had locked him in a flat and demanded thousands of pounds for his release.
