- JOHN STEVENS, PAUL BYRNE and DAVE BURKE

POLICE are looking into claims that a Tory MP misused campaign funds to pay "bad people".

Mark Menzies is said to have called a former campaign manager at 3:15am claiming he was locked in a flat and needed £5,000 as a matter of "life and death".

The sum, which rose to £6,500, was reportedly paid by his office manager from her personal account and then reimbursed from party funds.
