A leading Conservative candidate for London mayor has been accused of sexually assaulting a TV producer in Downing Street a decade ago. Daniel Korski, a favourite to become the Tory candidate for next May’s contest, allegedly groped Daisy Goodwin, who created ITV drama Victoria. Ms Goodwin accused Mr Korski of touching her breast after a meeting to discuss a potential TV show about trade. Mr Korski, a special adviser to David Cameron at the time, has denied “any allegation of inappropriate behaviour in the strongest possible terms”. Ms Goodwin went public about the incident in 2017, but at the time decided to not name Mr Korski. She said she was naming him now because of his candidacy to become London’s mayor.
