Lib Dem peer accused of sexual harassment dropped from fundraiser in U-turn
A Liberal Democrat peer accused of sexual harassment will not speak at a party fundraiser after a U-turn.
Advertising for the event described Lord Rennard as the man responsible for a series of “spectacular by-election victories that rescued his party's fortunes”.
It did not mention the allegations, by four women, which surfaced in 2013.
Lord Rennard has now been dropped from the fundraiser, following anger from Lib Dem members and one of his accusers.
