- William Wragg, the was-Conservative-now-had-the-whip-removed MP for Hazel Grove, was coerced into sending someone on Grindr the personal phone numbers of his fellow MPs after he exchanged compromising photos.
We went up to see how his constituents feel.

If a teacher behaved like that they'd be sacked. How can he be fit for high public office?
Not just teachers. Most people would be sacked. Then again most people wouldn't have gotten themselves into that position in the first place.
Not just teachers, pretty much anybody who works in public service be it police, fire ,NHS, teachers would all have been immediately suspended and subject to disciplinary leading to sacking . Apart from inappropriate sending of pictures which appear to be of a potentially criminal nature ( telecommunications act) he disclosed colleagues private contact details which is a data protection offence.
@@user-dz1kl6is1y Exactly. It's the giving out of personal info that's the damaging part. I'm sure lots of people, no matter of their sexual orientation, give out nudes now, rightly or wrongly. Just so long as I don't have to see them I don't care about that part. If one of us gave out personal information we would be sacked and the rest of the company would be forced to sit through one of those ghastly HR meetings 😦
He hasn’t been a naughty boy. He’s been a gullible selfish fool, and has put his and his colleagues security very much at risk.
Or traitor and serious security risk given his party's kleptocracy and links to Putin's Russia.
He is a corrupted person who couldn't see the woods for the trees, and so he should not be a legislator.
@@brusselssprouts560I mean, he definitely saw the wood.
He put his member and other members at grave risk!
He's a pervert and as we have seen there are plenty more where he came from.
William Wragg showed himself to be susceptible to blackmail. It could have been a foreign agent, putting national security at risk. Giving out phone numbers or private contact details of colleagues is a sackable offence in every organisation I have been with. He should not be allowed anywhere parliament.
Produce the photo, I want to compare his with mine 😂
They all made a very bad judgement voting a Tory in.
Notice no one mentions he lacks morals and ethics, because they too lack the same
one of the people interviewed literally said they voted labour last election...
Hazel Grove has always been Tory, it's a fairly wealthy area, not far from millionaire Marple. Every now and again they'll vote Liberal in protest. HG is my "next door" constituency
@@alexanderhendry5819agreed. There's certainly a mixture of all voters and views
@@GreatKnightJ But now voting Green... yes a man with principles! Not sure about the rest of them though.
The guy who excuses it as a failure of the heart? HE LEAKED MPs PHONE NUMBERS
Exactly. The pictures are irrelevant. He's free to send naked pictures of himself to anyone that wants them. It was the betrayal of all his colleagues and breaching of GDPR that mean he's not suitable to be an MP.
He's a personal friend of his... trying to play it off by the sounds of it but obviously they're all prats really.
Bizarre…
Well done PoliticsJoe for being the only people to cover both this story and this government with the respect they deserve. Which is absolutely none, congratulations!
STOP THE TOFFS
Tbf that lady admitted she hadn't done her research, but Reform? Thinking they represent working class people? Wow.
She’s the perfect voter for them. The idiots.
Wait till she discovers they want to abolish the NHS.😮
Odd place Marple. Very much out on the rural fringe with High Peak - place used to be a wealthy mill town but with deindustrialisation it's become more of a commuter settlement. Long abandoned working class population and an influx of more middle class commuters - perfect ground for the soft right provided they continue to split Lib Dem and Labour voters
Very depressing. Why do so many working class people think some rich toff snake oil salesman is going to make their life better?
@@marksc111The influence of Right wing media is still underestimated.The skill of a Tory politician is to get the poor too use their vote ,too vote against their better interests. ..Bevan
The Tory MP and the Tory Peer have both broken the law. Why are they still in place and not in a cell pending charges?!?
It isn't the pictures, it is that he sent phone numbers of up to 20 MPs to someone that he knew would use them for blackmail. That is outrageous.
My issue is more the sheer security risk rather than the fact he sent naughty pics. Our MPs should be getting trained in some basic tech literacy to avoid these blatant scams that this MP fell for.
No! If we had MP's with morals and ethics, that would solve the problem and those being interviewed have none or else they would have mentioned the words morals and ethics
If you want to send pictures of your todger to someone who wants to receive them isn't a scandal. Giving out colleagues numbers is.
Yeah but the problem is I think many people are getting 'outraged' about not just the fact he gave out numbers...
@@thomaspickin9376 You can find someone outraged about absolutely anything in this world... being gay, sexual relations out of wedlock etc. Heck a personal example was that someone saw my green, red and black coffee mug the other week and thought it was a pro-Palestine statement then started to argue with me... No clue how those dots even got connected there since it's just black and green with a red heart on it, probably some stupid designer mug i got from somewhere.
He's not gay, or got a red coffee cup, he got his knob out and posted it to someone, if you did, it would be off to prison.
@@magnuscarlsson9969 Yes but my point is more this is getting more media attention because it involves his sexuality and private life where he hasn't really done anything wrong...
We have a bad history in this country in the media with shaming people for not living 'appropriate' lives.
Yes the numbers thing was stupid but I don't think it's 'as' bad as people are making it out to be. Although I do agree he should've probably just gone to the police or something so should probably resign as a sign of good will.
@@thomaspickin9376 Well since I'm gay I have also encountered similar kind of blackmailing, this sending and receiving explicit pictures are just a part of online dating in general...
What he should really had done was to tell this guy to go ahead with his release of that material, then just say "yeah so what?" if it actually happened. Sure it's embarrassing, but not as shameful as caving in to such demands, even more so when it involves others.
In my case the guy demanded like 200k SEK(about £20k) or he would release them(four pictures) to all my clients... well i just told him to go ahead and do it. Then i called the police and everyone who might take grave offense about receiving nude pictures of me, then i sent a message to every single client I had met within a six month time frame, just in case, even if i highly doubt he would have all of those names(or even a single one). Honestly everyone i talked to understood the situation, only one person told me i was really stupid and a deviant and i guess i can accept that.
Besides this guy never went trough with it, he must had realized that actually spreading the pictures would make it easy to track him down and arrest him, while also giving the court massive amounts of credible evidence of his blackmail attempt.
The fact that he hasn't resigned and Rishi doesn't have the backbone to fire him is telling! The shrinking prime minister. Every day is a new opportunity for him to prove to us how inept he is.
Foolish and disloyal are modus operandi for tories. 💩🚽💩🚽💩🚽
He has committed a crime… stop justifying it as a “scandal”. Stop calling theft of public money a “scandal”.
In the UK, supplying a blackmailer with someone else’s personal details to save yourself is illegal. It’s a clear violation of data protection laws and renders you complicit in the blackmailer’s illegal activities.
Yes! It does my head in that nobody in the media is talking about the blackmail part. It's all about his obscene little pickle.
Absolutely, GDPR
It's very reassuring that some of them are awake to the corruption.
The irony of people who presumably voted for William ragg questioning his judgment should question there own judgment voting for him in the first place .🤦♂️🤷♂️
Apart from cringey, it's a trust / national security issue in my view as he's compromised and gave out colleagues telephone numbers. It's not about sexual morality. That's the point.
The guy who knows him personally should change his phone number!
Indeed ! 🤣🤣
Agreed the willy wagging is of no interest but selling out his colleagues to save his own skin? What wont he compromise to self serve, what/who has he already sold out to self serve? As for good judgement he has shown he has none but fear not his replacement will be another stranger imposed by very few on the many. Party politics has failed us all.
If he steps back , no byelection. Crooks.
There’s a difference between fallible and being dangerously incompetent.
7:12 Most people seem to be like this and it's genuinely rage-inducing. This is how people like Boris Johnson get voted in, despite the entire party being awful (people don't care about party policies, they just care that Boris seemed "fun" as a person or whatever), and why we're in the mess we're currently in.
You don't decide the PM --- that's not how voting works. Vote for the party. The party decides their leader.
Exactly! Its like I appreciate people like Jeremy Clarkson as an entertainers but I always see comments like 'Jeremy for PM' and I just don't understand why people are so naïve.
He didn't say he'd vote for the prime minister. He'd vote for his local candidate he thinks is best. There's a clear distinction between the two.
I think you could make an argument for voting for the candidate who you think will do the most good for your consituency. That's what I heard this guy saying, as opposed to him saying he'll vote for PM over party, which I agree seems like a misunderstanding of how our electoral system works.
Another MP living in the gutter
Typical tory above the law and no morals
People are absolutely mental if the vote for labour or conservative. David Kurten Heritage Party We are now in our fourth year since we launched as a party in autumn 2020. This is a vital year for us as there is likely to be a General Election at the end of 2024. We will also be contending local elections in England and the London Assembly election next May.
In the UK, the old political parties continue to work in lockstep together to allow perverse materials into classrooms for Relationships and Sexuality Education, permit open borders with unprecedented levels of both illegal and legal immigration, and make war on motorists with increasingly onerous restrictions on travel for ordinary citizens such as LTNs, 15-minute cities and the ULEZ.
The Heritage Party is the only UK-wide party that will end the climate emergency hoax and lift all restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions. We will ensure that people can continue to buy and use petrol and diesel cars and keep gas boilers in their homes. We will repeal regulations that require homes to have SMART meters and meet impossible new building emissions criteria, designed to force the abandonment of older buildings that are a precious part of our heritage.
We will introduce a Child Protection Bill to protect children from propaganda that attempts to confuse them with gender ideology or groom them into early sexual activity. We will also control our borders by pushing illegal boats back across the Channel and introducing strict caps on student and work visas while ensuring we train enough young British people to do the jobs that need to be done in this country. I Edward say that if anyone votes Lib/Lab/ Con or any other left wing parties they need their head examined. Heritage could, with your help make Britain great again. Anyone who votes labour or tory or any other left wing party need their head examined

Should someone who clearly has such poor judgment be an MP? I think not.
"Labour spend a lot of money and get us into debt"
The Tories have tripled the debt since 2010 and we have nothing to show for it!
Came down to find this comment. What an absolute joke she is 🤨How is labour responsible for the past 14 years of spending. She was also the same lady who'd like reform in 😂😂😂
There's always one fruit and nutcase, unfortunately 😧
Well, the voters in Hazel Grove will have a chance to elect a new MP that isn't a Tory.
4:23 it’s not about a failing of the heart, it’s about an MP being too dim to realise that people in his position are ripe for blackmail. And even worse he passed the potential blackmailer the details of even more MP’s. I don’t care about his todger.
I actually thought that guy was quite balanced in his opionion. People there seem to be relatively balanced with their view.
He’s a security risk… simple!
That's technically Marple, a small town within the Hazel Grove constituency. The reporter here is actually where Sunak got heckled a few weeks ago as he cowered off into that Range Rover.
I love your vids but it's quite annoying to have the preview clips at the start and then having to watch them again later in the video
I agree - everytime I feel like the video glitched
Ffs! A bigger question is why nobody complained about that obviously extremely expensive (and unnecessary) sign over his office!!! Any MPs of whatever party who puts up stuff like that (& taking it home when it’s time to come down) should be brought to task 😳🤬
He should have already resigned!
People are being far more sympathetic than I expected.
"I haven't done enough research yet to be honest"... Yes, that was blindingly obvious 😵💫
If Wragg had posted naked pictures of himself "on line" in a "normal" work place then he would have been sacked for gross misconduct ! That does not seem to apply to those in the House of Commons though ! 😂😂
I think posting on Grindr won't get you sacked
@@andrina118 Unless it was done using a computer in the workplace. I assume Wragg posted on Grindr from the House of Commons ?
It wasn't "at work" though, this person messaged many many people including journalists saying "Oh we spokes before ages ago on Grindr" (if they were gay) and flirted with them a bit over a long period. It seems for some people even after they'd blocked them once they just created new accounts and tried it again...
I think he was an idiot but as a human I do feel a bit bad for him. We do all get lonely and it seems like he was just out of a long term relationship, and no I've never voted Tory in my life.
@@keithhardy8513 I'd be amazed if he used it on a desktop, although you can, because it uses your phone's location. No-one would use their work login to register on a dating app surely, because you'd want to use it when you weren't at work.
@@thomaspickin9376It is really easy to hook up on gay dating apps though. Like, you don't need to grab anyone who messages you.
I've used various apps and had no problem meeting men on them, and I'm no oil painting
"just mingin" yes.
"I've not done enough research yet".....
You can say that again, REFORM FFS ???. Reform my arse.
Why no By Election? Why didn't Mr Sunak sack him cos he is a very weak leader
‘inappropriate behaviour is just a failing of the heart’ wow what an outrageous take. ‘A little bit silly’ I don’t think some of these people can fully comprehend how serious this is. It’s potentially dangerous for the nation to have an MP put himself into a position where they could potentially handover sensitive information.
As if the UK independance part represents working people.
Honestly baffled at some of these opinions in the video. Police should be involved and he should be sacked straight away. Its mental.
Never heard any of them raging.
People don't understand what he did. The pictures are one thing but sending contact details of colleagues would be a sackable offence in every other job. Why do ordinary people get held to a higher standard than elected politicians? A breach of GDPR should attract a fine of many thousands of pounds.
Guy shud be sacked.
its easy to tell which ones voted for him
a failing of the heart? NO. He is a BAD PERSON
I'm working class so I'll vote right wing or further right *sigh*
Yeah, sounds about right. Robert Tressell would refer to these people as 'Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' *sigh*
But she hasn't done her research yet, so maybe she'll change her mind after reading the Daily Mail...
@@grimwartI don’t like some of the Labour policies
Which ones?
You know, the thingy. Anyway I think the millionaire Richard Tice has my best interests , I’ll do more research like.
People like this really depress me. DID SHE LEARN NOTHING FROM THE BREXIT DEBACLE?
@@marksc111 people like this put austerity, downturn in trade, cost of living, rundown in public services down to immigration and Brexit not being done properly cos of those remainers. She’ll never blame the tories as she’ll never be told and never have to understand.
Good, plain speaking Northern folk ! 👍👍
And too many of them failed to see the real issue. Trust integrity and honesty and good judgement, none of which Wragg showed.
@@colinsixhitter3303 True ! 👍
He's obviously broken the 2018 data protection act. Where I work you'd be sacked.
That third person in the video makes such a great point! It reveals how scandals like this are used by the powerful to cover up their gravest crimes 😳 we're all falling for their opportunist misdirection 😓 I'm having a real moment here 🥺
The woman in the glasses only wears them to appear slightly more intelligent clearly
some people finely speak sense never trust tories its all about them how much money they can make
Serves them right for voting Tory.

and that guys meant to defend us (and himself) from international influence 😂😂😂
Woman with dark hair & glasses says she would vote Reform but doesn't really know why 🤦🏻♂️
She seemed a bright spark didn't she!
Hazel Grove ten Bob millionaires, they votes him in. What does it say about those who voted for him...
It's a shame a number of people in this didn't see the major issue as the response to blackmail and had a bit more focus on the sexting portion. The lady that described herself as working class sounds like she has been exposed to a lot of the Tory client media with her view on Labour "just spending all the money and getting in debt".
Wragg should resign as an MP because he failed to understand the Prevent agenda and training that MPs should be provided, the correct response to blackmail is immediately contact the police. I do entirely agree that this "scandal" has received a very large amount of coverage and there are other scandals that are worse, but those those have been covered by the media and are awaiting inquiries to process (PPE/COVID inquiry for example).
Lucky they have a choice of who to vote for! We only have blue or red in our constituency! Oh! & a trade union independent who got 38 votes in the last election! Certainly not voting Tory! Tactical voting is all I can advocate!
Good lord that woman @6:20 is just painful to watch. So Self-sabotaging. So ignorant / oblivious.
The stupid is astounding.
I feel for people who have these mixed opinions based on nothing. We should actually be speaking to them and engaging because that's how Brexit happened, people just blindly voting for something they like the sound bites they were being fed but they didn't understand what was actually being put on offer.
We need better communication with the whole electorate, not just sidelining people because they are ignorant of the reality.
He has finally put Hazel Grove on the Map
Thank you, very interesting.
He shouldn't resign or be sacked over sexting, it's normal these days. He should resign or be sacked for giving colleagues' numbers
He’s broken the official secrets act and the ministerial code. Prison.
Might concentrate the minds of rest of the tories.
Eat the Rich!
Good heavens.
The Chiltern Hundreds are lovely at this time of year, William...
Or the manor of northstead.
@@jamieeames8934
I think he'll want to stay dahn sahf now...
The woman who said she'd not vote labour cos she did not like their policies should have been asked which policies specifically. I am casting aspersions here, but I bet she woud not be able to give any examaple.. She sounded like a Murdoch press mouth piece.
Can't believe some of these people are trying to justify his behaviour
Guy who knows him personally, doesn’t think he should be sacked. Colour me shocked.
What exactly take to sack an MP nowadays
You never see the MSM interview people like this.
Accountability, integrity and honesty at all
Levels
Do something similar in your role and see how much sympathy you get from colleagues 😂
lots of folk, hiding the real feelings.
Imagine if you did that in your own work place - you’d be sacked. Why is it different for the MP. We need to overhaul the people who are chosen to be MPs - they are awful, immoral people
Youre in a high profile position with sensitive information on important figures so what do you do when threatened .....logic says give other MPs phone details , Tories are 🔔 ends
Patriotism means more than sitting in front of a Union Jack, Ragg is a national security risk and Hunt says he’s brave 🤔
Hazel grove had a brilliant libdem mp and voted Tory, and shouldn't be surprised that this happened
If he had any conscience he would resign as MP but no he’ll linger on hoping the scandal in which he implicated others goes away
Sooner he clears off the better
He’s a waste of space and the constituents deserve better
Stop voting for parties and vote for a viable candidate who is going to do his/her best for the community.
"I'm working class, I'll vote Reform" 🤦
Not far from me, Wragg was toast anyway before this. The fella with glasses on summed it up well. Labour probably would never get in there anyway though, no matter who is leading. Like he said most probably Lib Dem.
06:30 speechless at this voter's stupidity.
"He's too right wing" . Yep.
Loving the old guy with glasses, he is switched on & well informed.
WILLY WRAGG!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's a filthy Wragg
Resign Resign Resign!!!
Threw people under the bus!!!
That's what you deserve when you cast a a vote for the nasty party.
That woman who wants to vote Reform because 'Tories don't do enough for working class people' but won't vote Labour because 'they spend too much money' (what do you think they spend the money on?).
Not interested in any way about the pictures or what was going on in private. The fact he gave up numbers of his colleagues is a total lack of integrity and he should pay for that.
Looking at some of this lot the general consensus is everyone is human, think the Yorkshire ripper said.
Can you imagine if this was you, rather than just another day in "Toryworld"
Boss: how was your weekend? Me: pretty good thanks ... took the dog for a walk in the sun, made some banging pasta, caught up with a few mates. Oh, and I got slashed, send a DP to some stranger and now he has your personal phone number, along with the entire management team.
Boss: It was an honest mistake.
Story doesn't add up ...
I lived in Marple until fairly recently. I'd say that although Marple might be Lib Dem/Labour;, the leafy suburbs towards Hazel Grove are less so. The lady who said she'll consider voting Reform, I'd bet she voted BJ and is confused by a company posing as a political party
6:23 average uninformed British voter
Who'd have guessed the Tories are weird and corrupt ... not like Thatcher had a kid with Saville and kept Leon Brittan next to her ... *surprised face*
That first interviewee lmao. Wicked Willy.
They didn’t fire him because if they did they’d have to hold all their MPs to a higher standard.
A bud judgement? He’s proven himself to be a risk to national security ffs.
The guy who says Wragg just sent some dodgy pictures is totally missing the point. This is about Wragg giving out other MPs contact details to a stranger. It’s also about his naivety in putting himself in that vulnerable position in the first place.
