This is the DannyDutch one that Piggy posted

The word trap suggests something hidden that might catch you accidentally. This had a great big sign with flashing lights on saying ‘this is a trap’ and Wragg seems to have run straight towards it. The only thing he’s a victim of seems to be his own stupidity.

And then whatever it was that when presented with a problem to fix decided that giving away the phone numbers of MPs, civil servants and a political journalist was the way to make things better.

Don’t know if Rishi will have much choice. It needs looking into from a Parliamentary security/standards point of view I’d have thought. And he hasn’t exactly won over his fellow MPs with this as far as I can tell.

They really don't want another by-election

Susan Hall casually sharing doctored imagery, misinformation

This pay per mile sign does not exist.

I wonder why 🤔😅

Oh I see Jeremy Hunt is 'praising Wragg's apology' apparently, could have happened to anyone he says.

How about don't send dick pics to randoms on the internet, and double don't do it if you're an MP? No?

She's just getting desperate now, isn't she?

Aren't all MPs supposed to be told from the moment they take office that, before they do anything, they must stop to think whether they'd be happy with it appearing on the front page of their local paper? It sounds like the Tories missed out that essential piece of training with the current batch.

Is it not enough for the Tories that they've wrecked the country? Disgusted, dismayed and disappointed the electorate? Do they really need to give us the ick and cringe factor too?🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤮

The best argument to vote for Sadiq Khan for London Mayor is that the most likely alternative is Susan Hall.

In what world do you get an unsoliticited WhatsApp message and decide to send an explicit picture of yourself?

April Fools Day is the one day people actually think about what they read.
The rest of the time, they just react and retweet

@bombastix, I believe you. I've only got to look at mistakes made by Greens, SNPs and Lib Dems to know that unthinking, craven stupidity is more normal than we hope for. Labour's relative quiet on that front says more about party discipline than innate goodness.

Can't believe that William Wragg didn't instantly see this picture in his mind's eye. I mean if someone said what way might you be blackmailed wouldn't naked photos be no.1?

To be honest, party discipline looks very appealing right now as it might translate into a disciplined government.

How long can Sunak string out this shitshow? It is ridiculous. Even the usual suspects on MN can barely be bothered to defend it all.

This is what’s so incredibly mind boggling about the story.

Wragg gets talking to a stranger on Grindr and sends him a dick pic without stopping to think I’m an MP is this wise?

Having realised he’s compromised himself the only way he can think of to make this better is to leak the private numbers of other MPs, parliamentary staff and a journalist compromising their security as well.

Most of those seem to have blocked the number except that not 1, but 2 Tory MPs seem to have decided ‘this seems legit’ and sent dick pics to a complete stranger who contacted them over WhatsApp.

Clearly they are all thinking with the wrong brain but nobody this bloody stupid should be in charge of deciding anything. If it wasn’t a massive security issue it would be comical.

I’m assuming we will find out who those 2 MPs are at some point.

God forbid Rayner might wear a skirt that’s a bit short.

Penis pictures have to be hard to police though - as in, how would anyone actually know it was his without asking him to show them as evidence? It's not as if they would be leaked publicly...so the damage isn't really scary for a lot of men if it is a body part. I mean I suppose they could mention if it was a micro-penis...but it doesn't do the damage it would for a woman I don't feel. Besides as I said I think they are trying to find out who else is in the stranglehold of Israel and Russia by offering the Get Out Of Jail Free card here to anyone else who has been "tricked" into behaving like a pervert.

Omg too much thinking about member of parliament Wragg's member for me now @fabio12

@JessS1990 Whatever lies, deceptions,evasions, failures
and treacheries our political elite inflict upon us,we can always rely on the beauty and wholesomeness of cats.
That's one bonny wee kitten in the photo.💑

How many times can one woman be caught, very publicly, talking absolute shite and still have the gall to promote herself as a serious person?

😂🕵<--- guy with a magnifying glass...

But honestly, what does it tell you about his decision making?!

Dear Lord is it a prerequisite that you have to be stupid/liar/on the make/immoral/sex pest/batshit/racist/raving mad/incompetent & inhabit a swamp before you can be a Tory MP because it sure as hell looks like it.
Oh for the days when you barely knew who the prime minister was let alone any of the cabinet, just quietly governing the country & getting the job done.

A Tory MP has been accused of deceiving voters by using internet addresses in a Lib Dem opponent’s name that direct web users to his own campaign website

Three web domains that purport to link to websites connected to the Liberal Democrat candidate for the new seat of Honiton and Sidmouth do, in fact, direct people to the campaign website of Tory MP Simon Jupp

For goodness sakes.
How have they managed to sink to this desperate shabby state?
