Fascinating story by my colleague @tomfball who worked at a school peddling conspiracy theories

Tom Ball @tomfball

Tory MP Mark Menzies resigns from party after fraud and misconduct claims But questions remain for CCHQ as its investigation didn’t look at payments from staff used to pay ‘bad people’ & ruled campaign fund used to pay medical bills was not in its remit https://t.co/XnUZezXzgh

Tories don’t appear to be planning to refer the allegations against Menzies to Lancashire police but say they will be happy to provide information if helpful

Extraordinary statement from the Conservative Party accompanying Menzies’s resignation. 3+ months after whistleblower contacted chief whip, declares not within CCHQ’s remit as funds didn’t belong to party and hasn’t looked at Menzies taking money from staff to pay “bad people”

Mark Menzies has resigned from thee Conservative Party and says he won’t stand at the next election
