"Mr Menzies has been an MP since 2010 but has never been a government minister.
He has been a parliamentary aide to three Tory ministers - but resigned the last of these roles in 2014, after a newspaper reported allegations from a Brazilian male escort that he paid him for sex and asked him to buy an illegal drug.
At the time, Mr Menzies said a number of the allegations were untrue and he "looked forward to setting the record straight".
In 2017, the Mirror reported he had been quizzed by police over claims he got a dog drunk in 2015. He denied the allegation to the paper and said that he was cleared by police"
The curious incident of the dog in the night takes on new meaning.

Weird - wonder if this will mute the Tories having a go an Angela Rayner since no doubt Labour will have fun with this.
It's all a bit tawdry.

To be fair, Menzies is just a back bencher and the Tories have lots of MPs they have suspended in this parliament. I suspect this will make them even more desperate.

If you counted all the Tories who have lost the whip, and are still in the HoC as a party, apparently they would be the 4th largest party in the HoC.

Only suspended when it became public? Tory party are a disgrace.
