How a Tory MP ended up making a desperate 3am phone call to beg for £5,000 | The inside story

"Mark rang his former campaign manager, a 78 year old woman, and told her that he'd fallen in with bad people and was being detained against his will in a flat by people that were only going to let him out if he paid them £5,000."

A Times investigation has revealed allegations that the MP Mark Menzies misused thousands of pounds of campaign funds for his own private expenses. The Times's Billy Kenber reports that CCHQ was aware of the allegations for months before removing the Conservative whip after the Times investigation was published.
