About this deal
It is also claimed that O’Mara submitted a false contract of employment for a friend, John Woodliff, “pretending” that he worked as a constituency support officer. On Thursday jurors heard details of dozens of WhatsApp and text messages exchanged between O’Mara and Arnold The prosecution has said the mobile messages contain references to money-making schemes, rule bending, deleting records and demanding money from the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa).
The court was played audio of the phone call Arnold made to police in July 2019 in which he accused O’Mara of making false expense claims. Arnold tells the call handler that O’Mara has delusions of a conspiracy. “He’s started to entertain the idea that some kind of shadowy government cabal is trying to bring him down and loads of other absolutely irrational beliefs.” On Thursday, the prosecutor James Bourne-Arton read a number of messages to the court. One was from April 2019, with Arnold messaging a friend saying: “He’s a few k in debt with a dealer.” The friend replied: “That’s a very dangerous game that. He wants to be careful no bad lads come for him. He’s on 80k a year ffs.” Wigley’s Detroit corned beef, house made sauerkraut, melted Swiss cheese and house made thousand Island dressing on a grilled in Star Bakery marbled rye

O’Mara was MP between 2017 and 2019, resigning from Labour in 2018 and serving as an independent. He appeared at Leeds crown court via video link from his home in Sheffield. In another message from Arnold to O’Mara in July 2019, he says he has seen the MP’s mental health deteriorate over a number of years and his drug abuse spiral into something “quite strange”, saying he is “definitely no longer the great, motivated person I once knew”.
In a message from O’Mara to Arnold, the former MP talks about being “three days clean in a couple of hours and that’s the longest I’ve gone in longer than I can remember”. On the Look North incident, Arnold said: “He drank a litre of vodka before the interview and then denies it … I even asked his parents about it and they’re like, ‘he wasn’t drunk, he was hammered’.” In police interviews Arnold said O’Mara’s parents would bring their son a litre of vodka if not every day, then every other day, “along with 60 fags and bottles of Mountain Dew”.The second was around the submission of invoices to Ipsa. The third was around O’Mara’s use of cocaine, “anything up to five grams a day”.
