United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Whenever I see that a public figure is accused of something like this as they became a public figure I tend to assume it is drummed up noise. Who hasn't accidentally touched people while in clubs. Now - if there is video or photos like we saw of Urban Meyer in American. Then you are caught red handed. If this guy was casually trying to brush up against women, he would have other outlets and other accusers.
Seems like there is.
Given that he "approached" them from behind and grabbed their boobs. Then he was kicked out of the club. So yeah, it's not drummed up noise.
Your take doesn't really fit with the timeline described in the article. If the police hadn't screwed up, it would have come out before he became MP (and presumably he wouldn't have).
