by a local activist, the money was then reimbursed from donations to the local party. in his fylde constituency this afternoon, no sign of mr menzies. at the address given for the local party offices, there was no response. but he did tell the times, "i strongly dispute the allegations put to me. i fully complied with all the rules for declaration." there is anger, though, among some tory activists that more wasn't done to address the case after the allegations were first raised in january. i understand that cchq have been aware of it for a while, and have been investigating. i think some new information has come to light, subsequently. 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 have reported this to the police, who it seems to me should be involved in this. it's not the first time mr menzies has faced controversy.

morning his office manager, a different woman, paid him the money from her personal bank account and crucially got reimbursed for that from campaign funds, money that had been donated for the purposes of mark menzies�* political campaigns. a very peculiar set of alleged events. one of the interesting wrinkles to the story is it appears the conservative party knew of these claims before they came out in the times newspaper last night. let's listen to grant shapps, the defence secretary. as defence secretary i am not privy to the information but i understand that cchq have been aware of it for a while and have been investigating and i think some new information has come to light subsequently. as you say, a set of allegations, i note the mp denies them, but nonetheless the whip has been withdrawn in the meantime. as grant shapps said, mark menzies denies these allegations. we have tried to contact him and we have not had a response yet but he gave this statement to the times yesterday. he said, "i strongly dispute

i understand that cchq have been aware of it for a while, and have been investigating. i think some new information has come to light, subsequently. 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 have reported this to the police, who it seems to me should be involved in this. it's not the first time mr menzies has faced controversy. ten years ago, he quit as a ministerial aide after allegations he paid a male escort — allegations he denied. he was also reportedly quizzed a few years later by police over claims he got a dog drunk. again, those allegations were strongly denied. mr menzies said he had been cleared by police. after the latest allegations, some local voters on the beach at st annes were less than impressed. if you're in a public position like that, then honesty and high standards of ethics should be something you take seriously.

at the carlton club that night. i think rishi sunak is stuck between a rock and a hard place. this is yet another example of tory sleaze we have seen in recent months but only further dents the moral credibility of the government. it's a return to the days of borisjohnson, which is the days of borisjohnson, which is the last thing rishi sunak needs when he is dealing with attempts to reach his five pledges. i think it will be difficult for him to openly call for chris pincher to resign but the suggestion in the argument that cchq might make is that it's for the people of tamworth to decide whether or not they want to sign the recall petition and have a by—election. abs petition and have a by—election. as you say, i'm looking at the bbc news website that has updated, the live page, we have the liberal democrats saying that they are calling on rishi sunak to vote to suspend chris
