Boris Johnson urged to ditch Alun Cairns as an election candidate
Welsh secretary’s resignation over rape trial allegations not enough, says Corbyn
Boris Johnson is facing calls to remove Alun Cairns as a Conservative candidate after the Welsh secretary resigned over allegations that a former aide sabotaged a rape trial.
Cairns stepped down following huge pressure in recent days over the actions of his former adviser Ross England, with the furore threatening to derail the Tory campaign in Wales.
