Sam Uffindell's political future is looking increasingly uncertain.

National has stood down the new Tauranga MP, following revelations about bullying at Auckland's Kings College and allegations of aggressive behaviour at Otago University.

It's also emerged he was put on notice while he was at university, over the state of his flat.

Former National cabinet minister Chris Finlayson told Mike Hosking Uffindell's past should have been fully disclosed to leader Christopher Luxon.

He says if you selectively feed things to the party or the leadership, there can be problems.
