Conservative MP for Hazel Grove William Wragg has announced that he is taking a break from politics after revealing that he is suffering from depression
Wragg,who has been one of Boris Johnson’s fiercest critics,said in a post that he had “lived with depression and anxiety for most of my adult life. At the moment, both are severe.”
Earlier this year said that the government was blackmailing’ MPs to support Boris Johnson and suggested the police should get involved.
Wragg says that MPs are facing threats over constituency funding and even their personal lives unless they fall into line.
He told his constituents that” I am resisting the temptation to give up entirely. As such, I require a short break. I know that how I feel is far from unique. I would say to anyone who feels similarly, that they should speak to someone they trust, seek and accept support.”
