Korski responds to accusations by TV producer Daisy Goodwin, as Tory MP withdraws support.

Daniel Korski, the Conservative candidate for London Mayor, has claimed that he informed party officials about a groping allegation prior to announcing his bid for the position. Korski, who has been accused by TV producer Daisy Goodwin of groping her more than a decade ago, addressed the accusations amidst growing political pressure.

Goodwin alleges that Korski inappropriately touched her during a meeting in 2010, a claim that Korski has denied. He has stated that he reported the incident to senior Tory figures at the time but is now facing increasing scrutiny as the election draws closer.

The controversy has led to a Tory MP withdrawing their support for Korski, highlighting the challenges he now faces in his mayoral campaign. Korski has denied any wrongdoing and insists that the incident, if it happened, was entirely unintentional.
