Seriously, I object to the use of the King in a political poster. Who can I complain to?

I suspect the King will be complaining. They aren’t supposed to use the royal family as political propaganda.

Bill Wragg has admitted being involved in a sexting scandal.

Somebody reset the sex scandal counter.

Civil servants have expressed concern they could be deemed complicit in war crimes in Gaza if Israel is found to have broken international law.

leaking MP's phone numbers

I feel sorry for William Wragg but isn't he stepping down?

Anyway, a classic thing you don't do as it's an obvious security risk. If there is any blackmail I hope that person is prosecuted.

I feel like don’t send naked photos of yourself to strangers on Grindr needs to be high up on the security briefing somewhere.

I feel slightly more sorry for the people whose numbers Wragg gave to the stranger. Although the two MPs who seem to have responded to the strange number by sending photos of themselves really haven’t helped themselves.

More by-elections?

I wonder what the message was that got the other MPs to decide to respond to a stranger?

Good grief, will they just get out?!?! (I know the answer is not yet 🙄)

"I wonder what the message was that got the other MPs to decide to respond to a stranger?"

It doesn't seem as if they needed much by way of prompting -

"Wragg said he handed over personal phone numbers to a person he met on Grindr. Those colleagues were sent unsolicitous flirtatious messages from senders identifying themselves as 'Charlie' or 'Abi'

Two MPs responded by sending an explicit picture of themselves"

They are just disgusting, aren’t they. Like Julian from Ghosts, but without the charm, usefulness or capacity to self reflect.

Am I alone in never having felt the need to send naked photos to anyone?

Am I alone in never having felt the need to send naked photos to anyone?

Only if you are a Tory MP.

Bother I've been outed.

😭😭😭

Though it is not really funny, is it?

Who will free us from these turbulent prats?

I just want MPs to do their bloody jobs now. I mean, implement a policy or two I vehemently oppose if they must, as long as they keep their clothes on, resist being racist or misogynistic and don’t take the piss too much with their expenses.
My bar is sooooo low now, yet still the Tory party are managing to limbo under it and a significant proportion of them are aided in that by a)not having a backbone so they are extra bendy b) being covered in lube.

"Covered in lube"

Oh Saucery, thank you for making me laugh out loud! Much needed right now.

Never mind banning phones in schools. I’m really not sure we should be trusting our MPs with them. Not without some sort of parental settings and surveillance.

How is it even possible to be that stupid?

Crying for the moon, Saucery, expecting a reasonable standard of behaviour from the ship of fools that currently holds us all in thrall is simply too much to ask of them. Any photos provided were simply for ID purposes to ensure they can vote at local elections, wouldn't want them turned away at the polls. Although many MPs are dicks it's good of them to provide photographic evidence. Thanks chaps.

What happens if Charlie or Abi turn out to be under 18?

Fuckwits.

It's a shame they didn't edit the king out and replace with Andrea Jenkins thoughts of the British public. That poster

Exactly.
I think Starmer should make "boring government" his election commitment.

Come to work, do the job, go home.

BBC being remarkably sympathetic

TBF - that's an MP who had his number leaked.

Make politics boring again and let you get on your lives...

Or invisible government, quietly getting on with the job of making the country work.

Sigh...wouldn't that be lovely...

"Or invisible government, quietly getting on with the job of making the country work."

This sounds very appealing.
