- “You make this sound more like The Godfather than the running of a government.”
“Yeah, but less competent than The Godfather.”

His view on life is much more likely to be. "when the ship is sinking, it's probably best to be one of the first rats to abandon it"
Why didn't you ask him about Brexit? This guy hides his evasiveness by pretending to be a decent sort.
No denouncement of the appalling lies, the placemen in the BBC, corruption and gutter standards.
My local mp is also jumping before he’s pushed
He's my local MP, I admired him standing up to Johnson and calling him out publicly but he never responded to me when I raised an issue about how brexit would affect my Danish wife and her pension contributions, I got a standard will of the people response even though it wasn't the will of the Hazel Grove people but he never addressed my point.
He's a Tory they never answer questions or address your point. I've had umpteen rows with My Tory MP. He doesn't even bother to reply anymore.
He's my MP in Hazel Grove, and I supported Brexit. He was absolutely right to back Brexit. Hazel Grove supported Brexit, and he regularly beat the Lib Dems and their remain coalition in this marginal seat.
@DeniseWilliams-jr5xo when I moved to Manchester, my local MP couldn't even speak English, never mind respond.
@@kincaidwolf5184 Let me guess….you’re poorer, you have lost your rights to protest , and you have lost your freedom of movement. You have moved to Manchester !? Are your horizons and view of the world so limited. Nothing wrong with Manchester but there was a time when you could have worked anywhere in Europe , or been seconded there for a few years to develop your career. Now you have a blue passport, designed in France, manufactured in Poland. Your new local MP couldn’t even speak English….really !!!
@@kincaidwolf5184 Are you sure Hazel Grove voted for brexit, Stockport as a whole voted remain.
not a stateman if he backstabbed may
He forgot to mention the Grindr sexting scandal in this exit interview
Funny that
I congratulate him for being honest when others would have said that they were leaving before they lost in order to be with their families.
I don’t think honesty is the best description. Calculating self server . Where does the National Interest appear in this job interview ?
Nah he’s leaving the sinking ship. He’s jumping before he gets pushed lol. That much is certain.
Entitlements in his actions and desires.
36? Wow!
Being a politician must be an aging occupation, I keep looking and thinking he is 50.
@@neild2605 Turns out he had quite a lot on his mind...
36? He thought he'd have a career in politics and has now realised his own politics is widely discredited so he's jumping ship.
He can say 'I'm looking for a change' but we all know why. If he looks like this at 36 maybe he has a chance of changing his outlook so that he can actually look his age.
He unattractive
Wragg openly didn’t want Owen Paterson to face corruption charges in the first place but then voted against overturning the corruption charges weirdly.
He saw the polling & ran away, another coward Tory.
grifter gonna grift
Definitely not a team player, is he?
Him and his ilk are the reason I have no faith in Politicians.
I have always liked and rated Mr Wragg - one of the few Tories in this administration who gets my seal of approval.
These 'decent' Tories always amuse me. How can they be so gullible to actually swallow the public aims of conservativism? They somehow aren't in on the joke.
We need another exit interview now, hahahaha
Hello Williams brother and mother followed me in a car for a few months in 2020 they harassed me
That’s some of there secrets
He talks about intimidation but his family members have repeatedly intimidated me
standards have gone there has to be some sort of legal action against brexit campaigners and electoral reform for accountability to exist
Or people could choose to vote responsibly and only believe trusted sources. It’s something that you learn in high school, to use trusted sources when referencing for an essay!
sounds like the EU, vote again till you get it right. Biggest turnout ever should tell you something.
only a complete social criminal could defend truss.
It's appalling that she could have actually been P.M.
It could only have happened after Johnson had excluded so many really talented people from the Cons ' Party.
@@patrickgleason2066it didn’t happen by accident. The media pushed for it based on PR on the shady think tanks and lobby groups that propped her up.
Eek eeeek SPLASH.
Who needs words when we have wonderful onamatapeia to describe the situation perfectly 😁
A good, decent, old fashioned style Tory.
If they were truly decent they wouldn't be Tory in the first place. Old-fashioned fair enough but the Tory party is no place for decent people. Look at what it's done to him: this guy is 36!
a pervert
#agedlikemilk
Spare me a wannabee who clearly has a cosy directorship lined up.
Exactly.
I don't know. There's an odd phenomenon where your natural intelligence and talent that make you so valuable suddenly fade and decrease once you're not in government.
Nobody has yet come up with a satisfactory explanation.
@@TheLucanicLord Give me a link to this phenomenon, I’ve never heard of it . Are we talking about senility !!!
I think a lot MPs struggle after losing their seats. I can't see him being much value to a company.
@@freebornjohn2687 After the massacre of Scottish Labour 2015, lots of ex-Labour MPs found that being an ex-MP didn't go down very well with interview panels.
I'm hopeful that a bunch of ex-Tory MPs will repeat that experience in 2025.
Brexit was the will of the people and Boris got it done and now the Brexit voters are going to vote for reform, vote reform for a better future
The actions of Boris Johnson lost my vote - the Conservative membership then gave us Liz Truss … I don’t think Conservatives will ever get my support again. Sorry Rishi you’ve not done a bad job but I can’t trust the party to not give us another Truss disaster. A life-long supporter who believes we should all exercise our right to vote - so it’s Kier Starmer this time around.
Softball Brexit question.
You have to have some respect for independently minded politicians (assume the whips are less thankful for them)
Tories just don’t get it we seen there corrupt ways. And want the back of lot of them they leaving there sinking ships
Hes not elected
Horrendous sound imbalance ! I expect better from The Times.
Mr. Wragg, I am 83 but hope you will return to politics when I am no longer.
I think this is probably unlikely (his activity, not your age)
bwahahahaha sex scandal, we knew it
i hope you feel so proud of yourself for the trouble you have caused, you destroyed the tory party, why not join labour
What’s up times radio , you sulking because putin is back in power ? 🤭 ha ha ha ha
