So, an MP was sending pics of his bits to a stranger on Grindr. The person (feasibly a Russian agent) then blackmailed him into revealing sensitive information. The MP won’t resign, not even lose the whip, we’re just told he’s brave for admitting it. THIS is how far we’ve fallen.
For clarity.. For obv reasons, MPs are given specific instruction by the security services to avoid being blackmailed. Lesson 1 is not to share pics with a stranger that you wouldn’t want to be made public. This is not about him being gay, it’s about him being a f*ing idiot.
@mattcoyney But he’s apologised… makes it ok apparently.
@mattcoyney If this was a man sending them to a woman he would be forced out !
@mattcoyney If he had been an SNP MP he would have been treated completely differently by the media and other politicians. That's just telling it like it is.
@mattcoyney Yet Alan Duncan might be expelled for criticising the stance of some Tories on the Gaza conflict
@mattcoyney Wasn't Bone kicked out for flashing his bits ITS a case of who else is involved? #ToriesOut639
@mattcoyney Yes and no. I agree that your MPs have fallen, but you do want them to report their errors, when they are on this scale, don't you? So you oughtn't want to give the next blackmailer even greater leverage over their victim, which severe punishment would have meant.
@mattcoyney And yet their foaming at the mouth about Angela Rayner. Can’t wait for the election. Sunak has probably already got his next job lined up in the US.
