You know if it wasn't Andrew... if this was some UK MP or very minor public figure... or even a prime minister, they'd be dust by now. The scandal of the association would have absolutely brought them down.

Huge congratulations to Josh Babarinde on being elected President of the Liberal Democrats.
As an MP, he’s already secured vital protections for domestic abuse victims and been a tireless champion for his community. He’ll be a real asset as we fight for a decent, caring Britain.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …
