Three have become two. Not long after yesterday’s Evening Standard hit London’s streets, Daniel Korski dropped out of the race to be the Conservative candidate for mayor, following claims that he groped television producer Daisy Goodwin in Downing Street. Mr Korski denies the allegations, but says they have made it “impossible” for him to carry on.
Such a decision seemed inevitable, given the pressure placed on the former special adviser. But his departure reinforces the question that adorned our front page: have the Tories given up on London?
