Scandal in the UK (UK Political Scandals)

Political scandals in the UK often involve politicians or government officials engaging in unethical behavior, corruption, or misconduct. These can include financial impropriety, misuse of public funds, sexual allegations, or breaches of trust. Notable examples include the expenses scandal in 2009, where MPs were found to have claimed excessive expenses, and the Profumo affair in the 1960s, which involved a government minister's affair with a model linked to a Soviet official. Such scandals can lead to public outrage, resignations, and sometimes significant changes in political leadership or policy. They highlight issues of accountability and integrity in governance.
