Disgraced former Co-op Bank chairman and Methodist minister Paul Flowers has been filmed allegedly once again taking class A drugs.
In a video obtained by The Sun, the 65-year old is seen to be taking cocaine and ketamine in what the newspaper describes as a four-day binge with prostitutes at his home in Salford, Manchester.
Mr Flowers has previously spent 28 days in rehabilitation after admitting drugs charges when he was involved in a previous scandal.
In April 2014 he was charged with drugs offences, and he was fined £525 after pleading guilty to possession of cocaine, crystal meth and ketamine.
He stepped down as Co-op Bank chairperson in 2013 following claims of illegal drug use and inappropriate expenses payments.
The Church suspended him indefinitely.
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
