His own compromise was indeed foolish.

Giving away personal details of others and thus compromising them is unforgivable.

Reads very close to blackmail by state actors.

Play silly games, win silly prizes.

Why don’t adults think before they act?

As a ‘public figure’ wouldn’t the modicum of thought be: maybe I need a disposable phone for this purpose?

Exactly. What a total tool.

I find it hard to believe that he only gave away some phone numbers.

Compromised by who and why are the two most pressing questions, to my mind anyway.

At this point in time, I'm thinking that it will be easier just asking the Russian/Chinese state for the various government missing whatsapp messages.

FFS - at some point these politicians need to realise that they need to take security and cyber hygiene seriously.

Your a Senior MP and your on a dating app......I am assuming the security services give you training on this sort of thing

You maybe confess some smutty fantasy or send them a cock pick.....and because of that you now have to sell state secrets

Seems to me there must be more to this

Embarressed cos the sun publish our sumtty fantasis which frankly we all have

My strong suspicion is this is way more than a phone number or two

My assumption would be that the numbers are for targetted phishing/drive-by Malware infections.

They could literally send a dodgy photo to a phone then report to the police. I'm not saying that warrants a conviction, but anyone caught with illegal images on their phone is going to get a really hard time, even if they get cleared by police.

Assuming Russia or China really desperately need the phone number of a Leicestershire MP, I’m sure they have easier and more legit ways of obtaining it hehe

It’s one thing if he wants to send a photo of his own splayed anus, but to give other peoples numbers as well when his anus is potentially going to be on the front page of all of the tabloids is simply not cricket.

What a numpty.

He’s standing down at the next election anyway so clearly he’s hoping that’ll be enough to see it through to the end and I imagine Rishi will also want him to stay on until then to avoid yet another by-election humiliation especially as we’re nearing GE territory.

Events, however, may overtake what plans he has and force the decision and you’re right, he should resign immediately.

A few years ago I would have said it was beyond belief. While the stupidity of the action has remained the same, it is, more or less, getting to become the norm.

I read this morning that the tories investigated using the data from their membership as income revenue, allowing an outside company use the data to locate them and send them relevant adverts, which, if completed, would earn them a percentage. My wife, not a member of any political party, was both astounded and angry. I was a bit meh, it happens.

Who are these people?

I read an article by a columnist of a tech magazine about how they had been conned twice on the same day. Does she not read the magazine she contributes to?

It's not the world that's gone mad, it's us.

That would require some integrity, something the Tory Party of 2024 can't comprehend.
