A source close to Mr Menzies told The Times he met a man on an online dating website and went to his flat before then going with another man to a second address and continuing drinking.
The source added it was falsely claimed he was sick at one point and several people at the address demanded £5,000 they asserted was to cover the cost of cleaning and other expenses.
Traditionally it was the bushes in Hyde Park wasn’t it? Such winter activity being one of those things that made you proud to be British.
Still, makes the solution fairly simple. Increase the defence budget and keep the Household Division up to muster.
Did all these guys think Little Britain was a training film or something ?
Besides he could have claimed it back on expenses, shirley ?
Couldn’t he just have gone to watch the badgers on Clapham Common?

Sir Norman Fry was a paragon of sound judgement in comparison.
There’s a quote from Matty Parris on Guido, regarding how he cruised Clapham Common as an MP 40 years ago and even got badly beaten up doing it, but luckily escaped exposure in the newspapers. (And luckily for us fucked off out of Parliament fairly shortly.) He says: “looking back on it, I can’t imagine why I did it and why I thought I wouldn’t be caught”.
I can help him out. Same now as then, politics attracts egomaniacs with appalling judgement. They do seem to be getting thicker….
I remember in my yoof in the early 1950s there was an epidemic of Tory MPs being caught with guardsmen that gave rise to, what would now be a meme, “There are Tories at the bottoms of our Guardsmen”.
It would be easier if they told us which Tory MPs aren’t bum bandits.
I assume Rishi isn’t a gay, but he spends all his days with his little grinning head at men’s crotch level, so who knows?
