In a stunning turn of events, William Wragg, Member of Parliament (MP) for Hazel Grove, has voluntarily stepped down from the Conservative whip. The decision comes after Wragg admitted to sharing fellow MPs’ personal phone numbers with an individual he encountered on a dating app.
Wragg, who will now sit as an independent MP in the House of Commons, also relinquished his roles on the influential 1922 backbench committee and the Public Administration Committee. His departure from the party has sent shockwaves through political circles, leaving many questioning the implications for both his career and the Conservative Party.
