Mark Menzies: MP quits Conservatives after claims he misused party funds
Quick Glance: Mark Menzies: MP Accused of Campaign Fund Misuse, Party Exit, and Future Election Abstention
  • An elected official accused of mishandling campaign funds has departed from the Conservative Party and declared no intention to participate in the upcoming general election.

  • Following allegations reported in The Times, Mark Menzies revealed his decision after purportedly using political contributions to address medical costs and settle debts incurred from being confined by individuals demanding a substantial ransom for his release.

  • Upon a request for scrutiny by Labour, Lancashire Police disclosed their evaluation of 'details' concerning Mr. Menzies. An internal inquiry by the Conservative Party has been initiated to explore potential improprieties in the utilization of their financial resources.

  • Additionally, the party's internal oversight body will assess whether Mr. Menzies' conduct contravened the Nolan principles of public ethics, encompassing traits like altruism, probity, and candor. The spokesperson affirmed, 'We are prepared to collaborate with law enforcement, if they deem our insights beneficial to any inquiry they opt to conduct.'

Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation
  • Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.

  • Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.

  • Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.

  • Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.

Quick Glance: Liz Truss: From Premiership to Resignation in 49 Days
  • Liz Truss became Prime Minister and resigned after just 49 days, despite her husband's prediction that 'it would all end in tears'.

  • Truss assumed office on September 6, 2022, succeeding Boris Johnson, but faced early challenges and personal struggles.

  • Despite implementing economic measures and facing political turbulence, Truss resigned after a mini-budget led to a pensions crisis.

  • She reflects on her failed tenure, attributing blame to structural issues and drawing parallels to the controversial football manager Brian Clough.
