Where else would an employee get away with this?
Or look at it another way.
If, in the organisation YOU work for, a colleague handed out your name and contact details to an unknown sex scammer in order that that he or she could get off the hook for having fallen for the scam, would you want to continue to work with, or for, that employee?
Why would it be any different for an MP?
I’m not judging him for sending intimate pictures on a dating ap., although I reckon that it wasn’t the brightest thing to do, especially as he is a public figure.
But to give out private details of colleagues, regardless of where you work, is quite simply unforgivable…and more so when you work in an organisation where top secret information may be available.
He should lose the whip and his position as deputy chair of the 1922 committee. Immediately. I cannot understand why it hasn’t already happened, except that Sunak is utterly useless and terrified of the hard Brexit right (of which Mr Wragg is a member).
Here’s an ex police and ex military, so another state employee, as Wragg is, saying what would have happened to him in these circumstance.

They are so corrupt

It seems that Angela Rainer may owe HMRC some money
And this speculation is making the papers every day.
They aren’t so keen on this story though…
HMRC is reportedly probing Anthony Bamford, a Tory peer, and Mark Bamford, a director of The Conservative Party Foundation, over alleged aggressive tax avoidance measures spanning two decades, according to the Guardian.
Lord Bamford could face a £500 million bill to settle the HMRC tax enquiry.
Makes Angela Rainer’s possible outstanding sum look a bit shabby.

Silly public doesn’t know what it wants, but it’s OK. Rishi Sunak knows for them

MUNGUIN'S NEW REPUBLIC 
According to the Guardian, William Wragg has resigned from the Commons public administration and constitutional affairs committee and from his post as vice-chair of the 1922 committee. He had previously announced that he will not be standing for re-election at the general election.
So, hanging on to what he can, as long as can.

He’ll lose some money not being a committee chair any more. I think it’s about £15,000 a year, but he’ll hang on to his fat salary and expenses until the election.
Maybe, as Mr Hunt thinks Willie’s a ‘brave man’, he will give him a job cleaning the seven luxury flats that he forgot to mention in his register of interests!

All this grindr stuff that Wragg was involved in started a couple of years ago.
So did this…his complaint to the police that the Whips Office was blackmailing MPs.

Russians split and control the same tory nut jobs, because they are the ones that would oppose a phenix style Johnson.
That leaves the Nigerian scammers who have upped their game. That’s probably the Guardian’s favourite.

I reckon it will cost them dearly. They will have to sell their properties, and with so many on the market at one time, it’s going to be a buyers’ market.
I don’t know it these people, resident in Spain, had a vote on Brexit, but I know a lot of immigrants were, bizarrely, all for it.
Presumably because, as dear Mr Gove said, “we hold all the cards”.

It read that things, rules and section to be included aren’t settled yet. A possible bench mark property value was property/developments over 465k euro. Don’t know the property price range for Spain, Tatu3?

I don’t really know much about the golden visa, but believe if you buy a property outright for €500,000 or more then you were entitled to residency, eventually, after a few years. I may have this wrong, as we moved here before brexit and spent way less on our house!
I think it’s been abused by people buying property at that price and then not living here and maybe renting out the houses. I have heard there are a LOT of Russians that own rather large houses down on the costas near Malaga.
Here in Extremadura there are very few foreigners, and being nowhere near the coast, most Brits don’t want to live here, which was one of the reasons we liked it lol. Also everything is cheaper here than on the coast, including property
