A former Conservative MP and council leader failed to declare £39,000 in “underhand” donations to his political campaign funds had come from a property developer, a jury has been told.

On Tuesday, a jury at Warwick Crown Court heard David Mackintosh, 44, who was MP for Northampton South between May 2015 and May 2017, first met property developer Howard Grossman in 2012 and the donations were made two years later.
