Children’s minister Claire Coutinho calls groping allegations against Tory hopeful ‘serious and concerning’
Daniel Korski’s London mayoral campaign remains under intense pressure as a government minister who has backed him previously “paused” her support for his candidacy, over the “very serious and concerning” allegations by the TV producer Daisy Goodwin that he had groped her at No 10 a decade ago.
The children and families minister, Claire Coutinho, has called on the Cabinet Office “swiftly” to follow up Goodwin’s formal complaint about Korski’s alleged behaviour, and said the actions described in the allegation had “no place in society”.
