William! Wragg!

Collective Thoughts?

Every time MPs set a new bar for how low they can go personally, one comes along and lowers it further…

Good riddance.

Why is he still an MP?

Half victim, half dickhead (and shaft, and sack by the sounds of it).

Clearly the world has moved in a direction that I don’t comprehend where you share photos of your bits with strangers for….reasons. I don’t get it but millions upon millions of people do it it seems.  Despite it seeming to be ‘normal’ to do so you’d have thought the shame would be minimised, even everyday folk seem to find themselves blackmailed over it all the time. To partake in such ‘pleasures’ in a position of responsibility where you are even more vulnerable to being compromised is just profoundly naive. It’s the sort of stupid thing a horny 15 year old boy could find themselves victim of and you could forgive them for being a hormony led plonker. To do it as an adult and an MP……victim yes, a bit of tool also yes.

How shit do you have to be to quit/get sacked?

wragg tried to take the tory whips office to court

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/jan/22/about-a-dozen-tory-mps-said-to-have-accused-party-whips-of-blackmail

for blackmailing him, presumably with this…

that’s him 7 the from bottom,hes obviously a bit of a liability and you can see why he was targeted

He said: “I got chatting to a guy on an app and we exchanged pictures.

Pictures of what?

Oh come on we’ve all taken pictures of our genitals, shared them on a dating app and been subsequently blackmailed into handing over our contact details. Happens everyday. Sometimes twice.

FFS the man is an MP. Two MPs have been murdered in recent years and this arsehole has handed out contact details to **** knows who.

Why wasn’t he fired on the spot?

And if they won’t fire him, why hasn’t he stood down?

BBC reporter on newsnight was explaining how he was targeted

“It was trying I think to flirt but I don’t think it was very effective because I just kept replying ‘WHO ARE YOU? and what do you want?’”.

do we know if it  was China or Russia?

It’s the fact that he thought that giving up the private numbers of his colleagues would get him out of trouble.  Vice chairman of the 1922 for goodness sake,  you would imagine he would be slightly smarter 🙁

This neatly summarises my main issue with the current government. I despise them not, particularly, because of their politics, but because they’re so bone-****-numbingly stupid.

I’m watching Slow Horses at the moment and am very disappointed that The Dogs haven’t turned up in a fleet of black Range Rovers and dragged him off to one of the new rooms under The Park that doesn’t have any windows.

One of our local MP’s – I suspect he’ll definitely lose his seat now – even all the OAP’s in Hazel Grove won’t be voting him in.

He’s our M.P and was extremely good at protecting a huge swathe of green belt nearby from being turned into a 4,000 homes, housing estate.
He also helped get rid of Boris Johnson, but my goodness, what on earth was he thinking.
Just stupid behaviour of the highest order.

Why is he still an MP?

Because no one can sack an MP. He could be chucked out of his party and sit as an independent and thats it. Unless he chooses to step down and trigger a bye election there is nothing anyone can do

Unless they’ve seen his tinkle and like another 4 years of it.

One of our local MP’s – I suspect he’ll definitely lose his seat now

He had announced he was standing down back in 2022.
It is mildly amusing someone who complained about blackmail from the whips office subsequently got blackmailed by some random other.
Does seem nuts to hand out that sort of photo a) at all and failing that b)having met the person and/or c)not showing face so some ability to deny.

what on earth was he thinking.

I think its the lack of thinking that has got him where he finds himself now, isn’t it? I was wondering why the Tories were going all in over Rayner’s house sale story, presumably diverting attention from Willy Wag* is the answer?

*That’s what the whips office are calling him, I’ve decided.

There is now, but only in certain circumstances

Unless he chooses to step down and trigger a bye election there is nothing anyone can do

Not true. But not a quick process, and requires other MPs to act (assuming no serious laws broken).

Pictures of what?

Their genitals by all accounts…

I feel sorry for him – how thick/ malevolent must his parents be to call him Willy Wragg. Sounds like what one would use to clean up after using a Penis Beaker.

I would say they need a ****ing leash round their necks and led about the place by a chaperone, told who they can and cannot speak to but then thought……nah, that’s what got us here in the first place and they’d just get off on it, imagine that?……A ****ing rampant Wragg humping your leg.

He is now forever known on FB as “Private Members Bill”

I’m pretty sure Willy Waver’s seat will be lost to the Libdems along with the adjacent Cheadle constituency.

Vice chairman of the 1922 for goodness sake,  you would imagine he would be slightly smarter

No, no I wouldn’t.

Pictures of what?

Thanks, I now have a slightly altered Who song bouncing around my brain.

But Angela Rayner 😉 lol. Personally I was also thinking Lord Mone should somehow be in court for fraud. It’s hard to find something redeeming about Torys. Well I guess the grouping of all tossers in the same place has benefit. Lets hope the Tory’s merge with Reform and become a place of refuge for idiots 😉

It’s the sort of stupid thing a horny 15 year old boy could find themselves victim of and you could forgive them for being a hormony led plonker. To do it as an adult and an MP……victim yes, a bit of tool also yes.

Yep. It’s the chronic lack of judgement that makes him utterly unfit to hold public office.

That list above – assuming that’s a well known ‘legit’ leaked document from the tory whips? What’s the story. Pretty libelous stuff on there…..unless provably true. Truss is even more a catch than I’d previously appreciated – Lucky Mr Truss.

Yep. It’s the chronic lack of judgement that makes him utterly unfit to hold public office.

And the fact that its so pervasive across 100s of them, not just one or two, but 100s of clueless morons all in the same place.

Yep. It’s the chronic lack of judgement that makes him utterly unfit to hold public office.

The Tories are desperate not to involve the police here, I’m guessing because the identities of the other MPs who ended up interacting with this scammer/foreign agent would come out, as it were.

I want to know why MPs are defending him – Jeremy Hunt there saying he’s made a fulsome and courageous apology and should be praised for that.

Are the rest of the MPs secretly thinking “oh shit, we all do that too!” and are desperate for it not to come out? None of these people can be trusted to behave themselves. They have no judgement, no moral compass, no courage.

All of this “the Right Honourable…” and the protections they hide behind like parliamentary privilege, self-regulation, code of conduct and so on is just an insult to the rest of us. There’s nothing honourable about any of them. I suggest:
The Right Shallow
The Right Stupid
The Right Self-Centred and
The Right Corrupt as more suitable prefaces

Anyone else, in any other job, would have been sacked so fast their feet wouldn’t have touched the floor – and that goes for numerous “indiscretions” and bordering-on-criminal activities that MPs get up to, not just the catastrophically stupid act of sending dick pics.

convert – I seem to recall that that list was apparently the leverage that the whips had on everyone to get them to follow the party line!  If you don’t do what the party expects, this story might reach the press.  No doubt it had some official purpose – like making sure the PM didn’t make any ministerial appointments that might be embarrassing or something,

That list has been around for a while & every time news breaks about a Tory MP up to no good its worth checking eg Pincher, Burns, Wragg, Elphicke, Hancock, Johnson

As for Truss its pretty well known she had an affair with MP Mark Field when she was younger & told other MPs she was pregnant by him and that her local Tory party said it was a mistake she got through vetting to get slected as a candidate

Anyway, theres a danger that further revelations will expose wragg further & put Sunak in the poop, eg if wraggs dickpics leak just before the locals……

the real question is who was targeting out MPs & journalists, who else have they compromised & what will they do with that info?

‘Scims the list with intersest’

Old Kwasi got around didn’t he?

Surprised he had any energy left after so enthusiastically shagging the economy into the middle of next week.

Old Kwasi got around didn’t he?

I’d suggest not only did he get around, but his social skills are so poorly developed he looked for success amongst his work colleagues AND felt the need to leak his conquests.

Are the rest of the MPs secretly thinking “oh shit, we all do that too!”

I think its part of the oxbridge initiation ceremony, especially for certain members clubs

I seem to recall that that list was apparently the leverage that the whips had on everyone to get them to follow the party line!

Supposedly its a mix of leverage and also a warning to the whips as to what they might need to help the mp out with.
In terms of whether it is authentic or not.
Every time a scandal appears it makes an appearance and so far its been remarkably accurate about what the mp is supposedly prone to and what the scandal is.
So if not genuine it got put together by someone who is well connected to the tory mp rumour mill or is amazingly lucky guesser.
