Am I missing something?
'Conservative Women' and others are bemoaning the unnecessarily intense focus on everyday sexism in UK politics, which is of course all the fault of the PC brigade / lefty snowflakes / rabid feminists (delete as appropriate).
But, but, but wasn't it Guido Fawkes that kicked it all off?

On a maybe not dissimilar note, a short time ago BBC news had yet to mention the alleged "sex pest list" of 36 Tory MPs. Sky and ITV have both done so on more than one occasion.
The "discussion" regarding this on the BBC Daily Politics earlier was apparently more interested in exhuming the "Kuenssberg needed a bodyguard at the Labour conference" canard again.

I'm instinctively sceptical of such claims, but this does have the feeling of something very big. Potentially bigger than the expenses scandal, even.

Canards are unfounded rumours.

She had one but whether they were needed is very much open to question - and I am quite happy to go with AK's view

PS/ Things you'll hear today that are FALSE: Papadopoulos wasn't a top advisor; was with campaign briefly; plead to acts "outside" campaign.
Sanders repeatedly downplays Papadopoulos’ role on the campaign. She repeated that he served on a volunteer advisory council, “I’d hardly call that some kind of regular adviser. He was not paid by the campaign he was a volunteer again on a council that met once.”
