The fall of the Tory party

A senior Conservative MP has reportedly admitted to giving out the personal phone numbers of colleagues to a person he met on a dating app.

William Wragg told the Times that he gave the information after he had sent intimate pictures of himself, saying he was “scared” and “mortified”.

2 of the MPs whose numbers he passed on also sent intimate pictures.

This almost feels like nostalgic tory sleaze.

I know I'm old, but was still involved in the early days of internet dating. How is there anybody alive that doesn't assume sending intimate image to a person you've never meet isn't a scam. That would always be my first assumption.

Interesting way this story has been presented so far.

I honestly don't know why people send intimate pics of themselves to people they don't know.

Coming from someone who has never sent a nude pic of myself to anyone, even my wife or previous gfs.

Item 14: Impulsivity
Item 15: Irresponsibility

Particular relevant to the two MPs who sexted back I would think.

I thought this

was a joke!

Wragg is my local MP - I think he was going to step down at the next election anyway. Wonder if it'll trigger a by election.

If she can get this done she gets my vote.

Odd that all these anti-ULEZ protesters fail to realise they are already paying per mile to the Oil companies that supply petrol or diesel.

More like pay per minute as I highly doubt most journeys even go so far as a mile.

they are already paying per mile to the Oil companies that supply petrol or diesel.

and substantially to the UK govt with 53ppl duty plus 20% VAT.

If the govt just unfroze the fuel duty escalator for a year or two, the pay per mile stuff would become even more irrelevant.

I thought the current Tory continuum had already frozen the Fuel Duty Escalator for several/many years?

Anyone 'on here' from the West Midlands?
Are Labour likely to oust Andy Street?

Yes, they have.

Hence if it was unfrozen, it might help to rebalance towards more preferable forms of transport.

Sadly that form seems to be electric cars which have virtually all the problems of ICE cars in a bigger and heavier package.

There's amazing footage of William Wragg in 2022 in committee advising MPs who were being blackmailed to do the exact things he didn't do in 2024.

People believe that William Wragg is being protected because there is
more to Honeytrap story.

Like for instance one of the supposedly happily married top
Conservatives being on Grindr.

It could be Jacob Rees-Mogg, Grant Shapps... or Jeremy Hunt being
'courageously' defended.

Could be Gove. Gove's penis could be on the front page of The Times.

Terrifying.

The homophobia in that twitter thread is pretty grim. The playground mentality of point the finger and guess who is gay makes it clear why people still can’t be open about their sexuality.

No I meant he'd just lay it there.
