Rishi Sunak defends his response to an MP's involvement in a 'honeytrap' scandal, where he shared colleagues' personal phone numbers with a suspected scammer.
Rishi Sunak has denied displaying a “failure of leadership” after an MP was left to “voluntarily” relinquish the Conservative whip following his admission he shared colleagues’ personal phone numbers with a suspected scammer.
He resigned from his roles leading the Commons Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee and as vice-chairman of the 1922 Committee, and chose to surrender the Conservative whip in the wake of the scandal. He added: “There are wider things happening and he rightly apologised for what happened, and it’s a good reminder to everyone, but particularly people in public life, to obviously be careful about unsolicited messages they get.
William Wragg gave up the Tory whip on Tuesday after sharing colleagues’ personal phone numbers with a suspected scammer “When it comes to weakness, I know Keir Starmer still hasn’t answered any questions properly about what’s going on with Angela Rayner,” he said.
