Senior MP William Wragg resigned from the Conservative party for sharing politicians' phone numbers with a suspected scammer, leading to his voluntary relinquishment of the Conservative whip.
Wragg admitted providing colleagues' phone numbers to a person on a dating app to prevent the potential leak of intimate images after being targeted in a parliamentary sexting scam.
Scotland Yard is investigating the honey trap scam involving unsolicited messages sent to politicians, with at least 12 men allegedly contacted, but it is not believed to involve the security services.
Critics have raised concerns about parliamentary security following the incidents, questioning Mr. Wragg's actions despite his apology, which was praised by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt.
