Conservative London mayoral candidate Daniel Korski has denied groping a TV producer.

It comes after the former Downing Street aide was accused of groping writer and producer Daisy Goodwin. 

As Goodwin wrote in The Times: "Now the spad (advisor) who groped me, aka Daniel Korski, is running to be the Tory candidate for mayor of London. This I think is a reason to name him.”

In Goodwin's article, she alleged that the incident took place during a meeting at Downing Street.

However, now Korski has shared a lengthy statement denying the claims, sharing he does not understand how Goodwin “came away with that perception” of the meeting between them a decade ago.

Speaking to TalkTV on Tuesday, June 28, Korski said: "I didn’t do what’s been alleged. I absolutely didn’t do that. Ten years ago, when it happened, nothing was said to me. Seven years ago, when this first came out, nobody alleged anything to me.

"I just didn’t do what’s being alleged."

In his statement posted on Twitter, Korski said it was “disheartening” that the accusation had re-emerged during his mayoral bid.

He wrote: "It is disheartening to find myself connected to this allegation after so many years, but I want to unequivocally share that I categorically deny any claim of inappropriate behaviour."

The Conservative Party said it was not investigating the claim and Downing Street said No 10 was a safe environment for women.

Downing Street earlier refused to be drawn on the individual case or whether there would be a Cabinet Office investigation into Mr Korski who, at the time of the allegation, was a special adviser to then-prime minister David Cameron.

A Tory spokesman said: “The Conservative Party has an established code of conduct and formal processes where complaints can be made in confidence.

“The party considers all complaints made under the code of conduct but does not conduct investigations where the party would not be considered to have primary jurisdiction over another authority.”
