Edit: DB9 pipped me

Will he be taking one for the team or will others be charged?

I have vague recollections of a motorhome?

The joy of Krankie being locked up with "female" prisoners up there would simply be too much.

However hard Labour try, they'll never out sleaze the Tories.

The lack of genuine curiosity as to why a whole host of gay Tory MP’s are either engaged in or are perhaps were the victims of nefarious activities I find really strange.
This latest chap phoned his local party at 3-15am needing cash as a matter of life and death ffs!
Someone tell me the police are investigating this?

I'm sure the police would investigate if Mark Menzies reported an alleged crime.

So far, the police have received no complaint.

I would imagine given these are MP's and the possibility of blackmail etc the Police would investigate regardless of a complaint, MP's are privy to sensitive information and it seems madness that this is done so easily.

Interestingly the Tory whip knew about these allegations in January, but did nothing. So the party itself clearly isn't concerned about its own MP's wellbeing (or just wanted to keep it hushed up. Or both).

What's bizarre is that the woman he rang at 3.15 a.m. telling her he was being held captive didn't call the police. Presumably he asked her not to

I may be entering Elgy like tin foil hat territory but I sense we’re getting to know in instalments perhaps a dangerous compromising of the Governing party via its gay MP’s. We now the removal of a sitting PM was facilitated by a possible sting involving Wragg, you don’t need to be a reader of the Le Carre novels, to know the UK has a chequered history when it’s comes to Gay establishment figures getting compromised.
I don’t think we as yet know the half of it!
