I suspect a lot of Tory colleagues will be very unhappy with him and the Standards committee will be very hard on him.

It doesn't explain why Sunak fails to do the easy thing that's also the right thing, which is to immediately remove the whip.

It's like he's trying to mess up and look weak.

And now Wragg has voluntarily resigned the whip himself. Leading to the easy but true Labour jibe that Sunak is so weak Wragg had to fire himself.

It's the literary equivalent of Sunak's charisma.

Reported: You've been here long enough to know that any discussion of Sunak's charisma belongs in General Skepticism and the Paranormal next to the Bigfoot threads.

"Only 3.8% of hate crime law complaints authentic so far, says Police Scotland
Official data for first week shows 7,152 reports received though nearly half of those were made on 1 April"

Basically all the complaints about JK Rowling and Humza Yousaf, that predate the law, have been binned and the police have clearly set a high bar as to what counts as hate, based on what counted as hate under old legislation, which had not been applied to Rowling and the First Minister. The doom mongers have been thwarted by a common sense approach.

Not by common sense, but by settled law, the police and prosecutors are well aware of what will stand up. Our courts have made it very clear over about a decade now how high the bar is.
 
The majority of reports about hate have been online and anonymous, so just mischief-makers then and they can be dismissed.

Ouch - that would be a Ring Albert!

Billhooks and four candles...? Oh, you mean Bill Wragg and his fork hands.

Now who could those two prominent (oo-er missus) Right Honourable Members of Parliament be who sent Billy Rag the dick pics accordingly...?

Enquiring minds need to know.
