Senior Conservative MP William Wragg has admitted giving the personal phone numbers of fellow MPs to someone he met on a dating app, according to a report in The Times. The MP for Hazel Grove told the newspaper: 'They had compromising things on me. They wouldn't leave me alone. 'They would ask for people. I gave them some numbers, not all of them. I told him to stop. He's manipulated me and now I've hurt other people.

I'm so sorry that my weakness has caused other people hurt.' It has been reported this week that a serving minister, some MPs, party staffers and political journalists were among those who received unsolicited messages from two unknown WhatsApp users.
