Back to the Westminster honeytrap, and now Dame Andrea Jenkyns has revealed that she was also targeted by the parliamentary phishing operation. Jenkyns is the third MP to go public, following her Conservative colleagues William Wragg and Luke Evans who admitted last week that they had been sent suspicious and rather salacious messages.

But the Morley MP isn’t entirely sympathetic to her colleagues. In fact, she is positively furious with Wragg, who admitted that he had responded to the sexting scammers with an explicit picture of his own — before giving in to their blackmail demands and supplying more numbers to the phishers.

Wragg has apologised for ‘being weak’ and his defence is that he was ‘scared’ of the scammers sharing ‘compromising things’ on him if he refused to co-operate with their demands — but Jenkyns is hardly impressed. She has slammed her colleague for his ‘unforgivable’ behaviour, adding:

Unlike some MPs, I am not happy with Wragg, as a mother with a young child who only recently had threats. It’s unforgivable of him to compromise the security of fellow MPs. Action is needed!

As of yet, Wragg hasn’t faced any disciplinary action from the Tory party. He’s even received the backing of senior Conservatives including deputy PM Oliver Dowden, who on Sunday said he didn’t think Wragg should step down from his post as vice-chairman of the 1922 Committee. But will Jenkyns’ comments push her colleagues to see things in a different light? Watch this space…
