Police should investigate allegations an MP misused campaign funds, Labour has said. Mark Menzies lost the Conservative whip after claims emerged that he had used political donations to cover medical expenses. Menzies disputes the allegations. Starmer said: “There are obviously a lot of unanswered questions in relation to these allegations, not least why it seems the Conservative Party took so long to act and whether they’ve reported this to the police, who, it seems to me, should be involved" Report by Covellm.

00:00 There are obviously a lot of unanswered questions in relation to these allegations, not least
00:06 why it seems the Conservative Party took so long to act and whether they've reported this to the

00:25 of positive arguments that we want to make about the change we can bring about in these elections
00:32 and yes again we're talking about misbehaviour by Tory MPs and if ever you needed evidence of why we
00:39 need to turn the page on this shower and have a fresh start with Labour I think it's in these
00:45 allegations that are coming out today.
