Labour and voters react as Tory MP Mark Menzies loses whip

Fylde MP Mark Menzies has lost the Conservative whip as the party investigates claims of misuse of funds.

On Wednesday, The Times published claims Mr Menzies had used political donations to cover medical expenses and pay off "bad people” who had locked him in a flat and demanded thousands of pounds for his release.

Labour says the police should investigate the allegations of misused funds.
