EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the story in The Times regarding the Conservative MP, Mark Menzies, Liberal Democrat Deputy Daisy Cooper MP said:
"It is frankly appalling that the Conservative party have known about this scandal for more than three months and have failed to do anything about it.
“When our national security faces threats on many fronts, it is deeply concerning that some MPs are so open to traps, threats and manipulations.
"Rishi Sunak must suspend the Whip for Mark Menzies immediately, while all the relevant authorities investigate the matter.
"This saga is an insult to the British public and shows why we need to bring an end to this Conservative sleaze at the next election."
