    Mr Menzies phoned his former campaign manager, now a party volunteer, at 03:15 last December saying he was locked in a flat and needed £5,000 as a matter of “life and death”.

    So prostitutes and/or cocaine then?

      Needing 5k for either/both is a good night out. Don’t fuck about these bois do they, and can we speculate some more since it’ll probably be true?

      Yeah, I know it’s 3am but I seriously need this…

      It’s hard to keep count, at this point we need some sort of scoreboard.

      I think the Tories are currently on 10 by-election losses so far this parliament.

    I guess if you know you’re going to lose your seat at the next election anyway why not embezzle some campaign funds while you still can.
