Senior figures suggest a foreign state, others believe a political insider is the more likely culprit
British MPs have received explicit images and flirtatious messages from anonymous WhatsApp accounts in an apparent “honeytrap” after an MP was coerced into sharing their numbers. What’s not known is who is behind these messages and what their motive is.
On Thursday, Tory MP William Wragg admitted to giving the personal phone numbers of fellow MPs to a person on the Grindr dating app. He said he had sent them photographs of himself and feared what they would do with them if he didn’t comply.
