Read our privacy policy Boris Johnson has categorically denied allegations he groped a female journalist and said it was "very sad" that someone should make such claims. As allegations over his personal conduct threatened to overshadow the Conservative conference, the prime minister dismissed questions over whether he had a "women problem", arguing that he had presided over a "feminocracy" when he was at City Hall. Asked if he had a "women problem", the prime minister said: "I've always been a big champion of women at the top of every organisation that I run. But Ms Edwardes hit back, tweeting: "If the prime minister doesn’t recollect the incident then clearly I have a better memory than he does."
