Early life


Wragg was born on 11 December 1987 in Manchester and attended Poynton High School in Cheshire, before gaining a first in History from the University of Manchester.[3]


Wragg became a school governor in 2008 and went on to volunteer as a student mentor.[4] He unsuccessfully stood as the Conservative candidate in the Hazel Grove ward of Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council in 2010,[5] but was subsequently elected in the same ward a year later in 2011.[6] He completed the Teach First programme, a scheme to encourage top graduates into the teaching profession, in 2014 and went on to work as a primary school teacher. However, he left the profession after less than a year to work as a caseworker for a Conservative MP and campaign for the 2015 General Election.[3]



Parliamentary career


Wragg was first elected as the MP for Hazel Grove at the 2015 general election, winning the seat from the Liberal Democrats on a swing of 15.2% and becoming the first Conservative MP there since 1997. He stood down as a councillor and, in 2016, the Liberal Democrats won the Hazel Grove ward seat back.[7]


He campaigned for Brexit in the 2016 EU membership referendum and, following the resignation of Prime Minister David Cameron, campaigned for Andrea Leadsom in the 2016 Conservative leadership election.[citation needed]


Wragg held his seat at the 2017 General Election with a slightly reduced majority. He had been targeted by the successor to the remain campaign, Open Britain, for his support of a hard Brexit.[8]


In Parliament, Wragg currently serves on the Procedure, Education and Backbench Business Committees and previously served on the Finance Committee.[9]


In 2016 it was reported that Wragg had moved back to his parents' house in order to save money for a deposit on buying a house. This was despite earning a salary of £74,000, with his London accommodation costs covered separately by expenses.[10][11]


In May 2016, it was reported that Wragg was one of a number of Conservative MPs being investigated by police in the United Kingdom general election, 2015 party spending investigation, for allegedly spending more than the legal limit on constituency election campaign expenses; he was interviewed under caution in 2017, after which police passed his file to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).[12] In May 2017, the CPS decided that no criminal charges would be brought.[13]



Personal life


Wragg lives in Hazel Grove and London.[4] He is openly gay.[14]

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
