William Wragg, a Tory MP representing Hazel Grove, made waves in Westminster by resigning from his party whip and committee roles. The scandal erupted when Wragg disclosed fellow MPs' personal phone numbers to a person he met on a dating app, leading him to step down and become an independent MP. The issue spiraled into a Westminster honeytrap scandal, highlighting the risks of sharing sensitive information online in a high-profile political setting.

The shocking revelation stunned many as Wragg voluntarily surrendered his Tory whip after falling victim to a suspected honeytrap plot. His actions not only raised questions about privacy and security within political circles but also fueled speculations about potential consequences for other MPs involved in the scandal. The scandal took a bizarre turn when it was revealed that a senior Tory member questioned why Rishi Sunak did not intervene in the situation, adding an unexpected twist to the unfolding drama.

Despite the turmoil, Wragg's decision to resign as vice-chair of the 1922 committee underscored the severity of the situation. The aftermath of the Westminster 'honey trap' scandal left Wragg and his colleagues grappling with the fallout of his actions, shedding light on the delicate balance between personal privacy and professional responsibilities in the digital age.

In a surprising twist, it was uncovered that Wragg was ensnared in a scam on Grindr, leading to the exposure of his colleagues' phone numbers. This incident emphasized the potential risks of online interactions for public figures and highlighted the need for increased vigilance in safeguarding personal information in an era of digital vulnerabilities.
