Reading about the Tory MP who's just been suspended for using party funds to repay money he borrowed in a very murky deal to pay off some "bad people" the story spoke of previous dubious events involving a male escort, illegal drugs and that Menzies was accused of being "dog drunk". I can't ever recall hearing that phrase before. Is it a gap in my upbringing and education?

This guy is a real piece of work. As well as paying off some "bad people" who were keeping him locked up in a London flat (he had to borrow £6500 from a Tory supporter who was then reimbursed from Tory funds) he also used £14,000 of local Tory donations to pay medical bills -- and this was 10 years ago! How he ever managed to get re-elected to Fylde is a total mystery.
