UK Election: Welsh Secretary urged to resign - BBC News

A member of Boris Johnson's cabinet, Alun Cairns, the Welsh Secretary, has been urged to resign by a victim of rape. The victim - who can't be named- says Mr Cairns should step down because of his links to a man who sabotaged her trial.

Meanwhile another senior Conservative, Jacob Rees-Mogg, has apologised after suggesting Grenfell residents might have used common sense and left the burning tower, against fire service advice.

The developments came as the Liberal Democrats launched their campaign with a pledge to stop Brexit.

How does one legally 'sabotage' a trial? Anyone know?

"How out of touch he is... with everyone." Probably he wanted to say "How out of touch he is with reality"...

But what did he actually do? What’s the actual story? Can you please be more clear in your reporting?

I need to know how he spoiled the trial and why was the MP at fault?

Ladies and gentlemen, let's here it for the Welsh Tories. Just when you thought they couldn't sink any lower.

Nope, a man is still innocent until proven guilty. If the prosecutor fails to secure conviction, then the accused man is still innocent. Alex Salmond has further proven the point of law, even though it was only a complaint.

So, there is indeed someone who is called English.

Exactly how many milllions has Rees-Mogg riding on brexit crashing the pound?
