William Wragg: Jeremy Hunt praises MP's apology over dating app incident - BBC News
If you send an explicit picture of yourself to a stranger, you are asking for danger.
If I did that and I was blackmailed into releasing personal information on other people, I would be sacked,
But hey, it's an accident. Nothing to see here.
And as for MPs who then were contacted by a stranger and then sent their own explicit pictures, what is there to say?
AIBU?
to think that if I shared an explicit picture of myself with a stranger and then they used that to blackmail to release client information, I would be sacked?

He should be sacked for actually giving the personal information out and not going straight to the police to report the blackmailer, definitely.

Wow victim blaming much.

Not to be dramatic but he is a literal security risk. They’ve not explained how a political journalist’s number was given, when the MP in question never had it. There are obviously more leaks. This is not for the police, it’s for the Home Office to investigate.

William Wragg should have the whip removed and be deselected by the Conservative party.
Though unlikely to retain his seat given the low level of support for the Tories.

He is also a member of The Common Sense Group.

And who the fuck sends explicit pictures of themselves when a stranger WhatsApps them as seems to have happened with some of the people whose details were given away?

Eh? What investigative powers does the Home Office have? Do you mean MI5?
The police are exactly who should be investigating and no doubt will liaise with other agencies if they need to 🤷🏻♀️
