New thread. I took the liberty - the old one was at 999!

Fieldhouse definitely wouldn't have spoken to the press (who clearly knew something relatively early on) if she'd felt her complaint had been taken seriously.

She wanted Menzies dealt with and didn't think he deserved his position.

RafaistheKingofClay · 19/04/2024 22:30

Also, needing to be bailed out of a flat more than once seems careless in the extreme. Wonder whether Menzies is the sort of person who might send a dick pic to a total stranger who WhatsApped him?

TooBigForMyBoots · 19/04/2024 22:31

Who is this Fieldhouse woman anyway? Clearly a Marxist agent for the deep state that's who. She infiltrated the party decades ago and has even been running election campaigns for 40 years.

Menzies is telling the truth. That Fieldhouse "woman" is nothing but a liar, a sleeper agent and a tool of the dark forces trying to control this country.😵‍💫

bombastix · 19/04/2024 22:37

It's the two sides of the party. The loyal flower arranger versus the entitled MP. I feel a bit story for her but there are lots of these little sleazeballs and ultimately being a loyal spaniel gets them elected over better people.

I really want to know why he was selected. Do not tell me they did not have any idea of his conduct.

DuncinToffee · 19/04/2024 22:43

Sunak should have written him a sick note

Menzies behaviour has been known for a long time, they mentioned some inciidents on the news yesterday, getting a dog drunk was one of them.

Did you read the mirror link upthread? He resigned a ministerial position for using a teenage male prostitute and buying drugs off him. In 2014. Why on earth they carried on with him as MP is beyond me. Absolute liability.

They had an idea. IIRC PM Cameron had to have words when Menzies got into trouble with a Brazillian sex worker. So not totally out of the blue.

I agree that this epitomises one of the civil wars PM Sunak is embroiled in: Tory MPs vs loyal, True Blue Conservative members.

Did it happen more than once? I missed that!

Yes, he allegedly misused party funds some years ago, a young male escort and drugs purportedly being involved. Also allegedly deliberately made a dog drunk 🤯

All of that aside, we’re constituents and he’s a bloody useless MP. Roll on GE.

Zonder · 20/04/2024 07:47

Oh yes I heard about the other incidents - sorry, thought you meant the flat incident had happened twice!

RafaistheKingofClay · 19/04/2024 20:04

This all a bit embarrassing on a day when they are announcing cracking down on fraud. Not this sort of fraud obviously.

I think we were meant to feel sorry for Wragg because his mental health wasn't very good, perhaps that is also the case with Menzies?

Of course poor mental health is not something that the poor are allowed to have as Sunak announced yesterday.

JessS1990 · 20/04/2024 07:50

RafaistheKingofClay · 19/04/2024 22:02

So essentially, if the party had done something this wouldn’t be the crisis it is now. That sounds like the sort of competent crisis management we’ve come to expect.

I think you are mistaken.
They did do something, they used their knowledge of what a woman is and put her in her proper place.

That is why he was selected, easier to keep in line if there is already scandal.

Sunak is too stupid to realise that it is the Mrs Fieldhouse's of this world that get his MPs elected, they do the hard work of supporting and campaigning in constituencies.

I'm pretty sure that's what was meant! Her fellow constituency activist said something along the lines of 'not again'!

bombastix · 20/04/2024 08:45

Actually it is disgusting given their prosecution of carers for minuscule sums which would not even amount to a night out for this guy. I hope he does get done for fraud.

Oh God, ATOS were the scum of the earth.

WHO: Covid is a mass disabling event
UK govt & media: Covid is like flu.

UK govt: WTF we’ve got a massive increase in people on long term sick.

This with bells on. No lockdown despite all of the evidence and then Mr Eat Out To Get Long Term Sickness About does his magic.
I wonder what happened to make everyone sick? 🤔

itsgettingweird · 20/04/2024 10:29

Good point.

Alexandra2001 · 20/04/2024 13:42

On the Rayner thread, i argued that the media treat Lab very differently from the Cons... is there a Menzies thread that has filled up? daily attacks on Menzies by the Mail? by Kuensberg? nope.

Menzies sounds like he should be in jail or character in a spy/crime novel.

Spandauer · 20/04/2024 13:44

Cons/Susan Hall still "at it" in London mayoral election.

Some voters will definitely be taken in by this.😡

Does she want "space lasers" at the border ?
