He announced that he had taken out a loan against his personal assets to repay these expenses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3445211\" data-originallang=\"en\">That was obviously not correct. It was completely false, and for that reason, when that was proven to be false and showed up to be false, he was expelled from the Conservative caucus.</p>",
