William Wragg, a Tory MP involved in a 'honeytrap' sexting scandal, has been accused of being part of a sting operation that led to the downfall of Boris Johnson. Wragg allegedly brought allegations of sexual misconduct against Chris Pincher, a key ally of Johnson, resulting in Pincher's resignation and suspension. Pincher had been leading 'Operation Save Big Dog' to protect Johnson from rebel MPs. Critics, including Wragg, targeted Johnson loyalists to destabilise his leadership.
