Edwards Faces Legal Pushback | London News

Former UK Information Commissioner John Edwards, who stepped down amid sexual harassment and bullying allegations, is now reportedly suing one of the women who came forward — a move that has sparked outrage. Liz Kendall, a key committee member, condemned the situation, calling it “appalling,” and highlighted how the whistleblower played a crucial role in the investigation that found Edwards’ conduct unacceptable. While Edwards admitted to “poor judgement” and “inappropriate humour,” Kendall insists his framing downplays the severity, and she’s now pushing for an independent review of the ICO’s culture — plus new social media curfews for 16- and 17-year-olds by 2027. She’s also demanding Ofcom urgently reassess its media oversight capabilities, with findings due this autumn. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
