David James Mackintosh (born 2 April 1979) is a British Conservative Party politician.
[6] Mackintosh was facing the prospect of being deselected by his local party but he announced he would not stand in the June 2017 general election.
Mackintosh was awarded the title "Philistine of the Year" by Private Eye magazine for approving the sale of the statue, which the Save Sekhemka Action Group called the "darkest cultural day in [Northampton's] history".
[10] In November 2015, both the BBC and The Guardian reported Howard Grossman, the director of a company responsible for rebuilding Sixfields Stadium, had provided a £6,195 undeclared payment to Mackintosh's election campaign.
On 29 July 2016, Northamptonshire Police confirmed the Electoral Commission had asked them to investigate the three donations totalling £30,000.
[14] In June 2021, seven people were charged under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 over donations made to the Northampton South Conservative Association in 2014.
