BREAKING: Greater Manchester Police say they are investigating Angela Rayner, relating to the sale of her former council house.

Rayner has denied any wrongdoing, but the saga rumbles on causing Labour difficulties. Hard for party to take moral high ground while this continues.
Police in northern France funded by UK taxpayers to stop migrants crossing the Channel. We witnessed them standing back and watching as a group of more than 50 made their way to a perilously overcrowded dinghy.

Send the SAS over there to disable the boats on the beaches and to rendite the people smugglers!
Wragg has now quite the parliamentary Tory party, and sits as an independent until the general election when he is due to stand down (as he announced in 2022).
This then rather begs the question why he was allowed to retain the whip for the past week?
Additionally, as I have noted, why were Cabinet ministers all the way up to Chancellor Jeremy Hunt being wheeled out for days on end to defend the MP’s “courageous” apology, despite this line of defence clearly being bollocks?
There is a lot more to this story than is currently in the public domain, and it is clear that other senior MPs may well have been compromised. I trust, and assume, that the security services are investigating this!
Wragg has quit as chair of the Commons Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, and has also quit as vice chair of the 1922 committee.
Quite bizarrely the Tory high command still continues to try to protect him, and are now citing mental health issues.
The fact that he knowingly betrayed his colleagues by passing on contact details (and possibly other pieces of information) appears not to matter. Yet the police are investigating this and, I would expect, the security services will also be pressed into action.
Given that the explanations provided thusfar are flimsy, to say the least, it is clear that there is a lot more to this than has so far been made public.
Despite the severity of his actions, and placing colleagues in harms way, Wragg has been shielded by the Tory party and indeed praised for being "courageous".
Dame Andrea Jenkyns, a former minister, is quite rightly having none of it and has called for action against Wragg, describing his behaviour as "unforgivable"
She questioned why the party was protecting Wragg, stating, "Why are they protecting Wragg? It’s bizarre".
There is a lot more to this than the feeble explanation given by Wragg, and at some stage it will come out.
Apart from Wragg, who else has been blackmailed into sharing contacts details?
Wragg shared his Tory contact details, but he did not have the contact details of those Labour MPs who have also been targeted.
