The political future of Conservative MS Nick Ramsay is hanging in the balance as he awaits court action by his local party as well as a looming reselection battle.
Mr Ramsay faces a contempt of court hearing after refusing to pay the Monmouth Tory association £25,000.
He says he is not paying because he wanted to make a complaint about an alleged conflict of interest.
It comes as a new process begins to find a candidate for Monmouth.
In November Nick Ramsay took Monmouth Conservative Association (MCA) to court in an effort to stop them going ahead with a meeting to discuss a petition calling for him to be deselected.
Roger Allanson THE former boss of a Bolton solicitors firm - embroiled in a controversial mortgages scheme - has been struck off. Roger Allanson’s firm, formerly based in Central Street, specialised in breaches in mortgage contracts relating to payment miscalculations. And he has previously insisted to The Bolton News that there was “nothing dishonest” about the scheme, which had raised £20m and was covered by insurance. But his industry watchdog, the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority closed down his firm, which also had offices in Wigan, in May 2019. An intervening agent, Bradford-based Gordons LLP, was appointed, amid claims he had breached solicitors’ operational and accounting rules.
