Mr Danczuk accepted two sets of tickets and hospitaility to the Rugby World Cup valued at £875 and £1,650 in 2015.

In taking the freebies, Mr Danczuk did not break any rules, however campaigners warned it could increase voters’ fears their elected representatives are listening to wealthy donors instead of them.
