our political correspondent hannah miller reports from westminster. a romance scam targeting some of the most powerful people in the country, in the form of lurid messages which for one former mp began last month from a person going by the name of charlie. "long time, no speak", charlie said. "miss you in westminster." the former mp told me, "it seemed so realistic". the last part of that message was "westminster misses you", and that was basically something friends would say anyway to make me feel better. i was embarrassed, thinking i'm speaking to someone who knows who i am, and i'm trying desperately not to come across as rude. the messages continue... the former mp then replies, asking who it is he's talking to. charlie falsely says he used to work in the office of another mp. he later sends a sexually explicit image, and the former mp blocks the number. the questions now are how widespread this is, who is behind it and whether the attackers got hold of any useful information. we've seen another series of messages sent to a political journalist fr
