    I am afraid I absolutely no sympathy for Mr Wragg. To be generous, he was naive in the extreme, as an MP, in communicating with a stranger via an app. It is unforgivable that, when threatened with exposure via 'compromat' (which, I presume, was not his official portrait) he tried to save his own reputation by throwing colleagues and perhaps others to the wolves.
