Reform UK MP was detained for 'kicking' his then girlfriend

|The Guardian
The Reform UK MP James McMurdock was apparently detained in a young offenders institution for repeatedly kicking his then girlfriend, it has emerged, despite previously claiming she was hurt after he pushed her.
According to court records released to the Times, McMurdock spent 21 days in a young offender institution after kicking the victim "around four times" in an incident outside a nightclub in Chelmsford when he was 19.
McMurdock, who became Reform's fifth MP after winning the Essex seat of South Basildon and East Thurrock by 98 votes at the general election, gave a different account of events shortly after his victory.
Later in July, the mother of his former girlfriend told the Mail the new MP was "a monster" who "left marks on her body", saying: "It took two security guards to pull him off her."
