Which scandal do you think is the worst?

Top 10 Celebs Who Tried to Revive Dead Careers

[terencepace]

Rishi Sunak not having Sky when he was a boy was a PR disaster indeed

[tommcglone]

Oh man John Prescott flooring that guy egging him was gold. Perfect example of why you dont mess with a former boxer. 😂

[tyanaichigovera]

The Ed Milliband photo controversy is stupid and should be an example of how sometimes those who vote and the media are not so smart.

[corvus]

What about the postmasters who went to jail for stealing funds when it turned out that it was the government contractor's financial error?

[samhayden]

There could've been a hundred more, but for some reason scandals don't hit so hard any more. Our politicians have lost all shame.

[gotany]

Dominic press conference always reminds me of the Little Britain sketch of David walliams being an MP and losing his wristwatch in the public toilet.

[geraldbutler]

Boris on the piss in Italy with an ex KGB agent and his son unattended.

[SiVlog]

How the Telegraph has gone downhill. Although they're entitled to lean Conservative, the Expenses Scandal was impartial as MP's from multiple parties were exposed (the moat claim being my personal favourite), but supporting policies that would risk breaking international law in more recent times, that's not so good

[Jesus_H._Tap-DancingChrist]

The Mound looks like one of those ancient burial hills

[nicoladale]

If Dara O'Briain calls a scandal "the end of comedy" then it's gotta be number one.

[danielkarmy]

Just knew the duck house would come up! He was Peter Viggers, the MP for my town, Gosport, for 36 years - nobody saw him once around town, nobody had ever spoken to him, nobody recalled him ever doing anything other than sitting on the backbenches of the Commons stony-faced...I mean at least Caroline Dinenage has career ambition!

[Jinjajamie]

I remember when Prescott was on Top Gear and said "i was told to connect more with the electorate so i did" 😂

[williamjones]

And I thought American politicians were wackos. I guess we learned it from our English cousins. Long live democracy. Warts and all.

[Rhianalanthula]

Traingate. When observing the full CCTV, and not carefully chosen stills, it was obvious that ALL the seats were occupied. You don't see childen or small adults as the seat backs were too high, but when they stood to reach something from a back overhead, left the seat to visit the toilet, stretched or otherwise moved, you can see the seats are occupied.

So "The Thick Of It" is based on real events! Nice!

[petermccready]

Why is everything called something “gate”! It is utterly stupid that all scandals now have to have “gate” at the end as some of them don’t even sound right with gate on the end.

[Ginger_Dalek]

I'm guessing then Watch Mojo UK think Partygate was all above board, legit and didn't break the rules the Tories made everyone else adhere to.

[ottagol]

Ah, now we see why Kermit the Frog left Miss Piggy.

[alansmith]

Only Mojouk would stoop low enough to `denigrate` our late Queen.
