The only people bringing his sexuality into it, seem to be the people trying to defend him. Others have been criticised, but he is being defended by certain people. My problem with this, is that he is being defended because of his sexuality, whereas others have been criticised. People are saying that "it's understandable because...". If those others had not been criticised then surely it would not have been an issue at all and not a resigning matter.

He apparently can easily afford to own his own London residence and so would not need to rent anywhere. He used the expenses system to intentionally make a profit for someone close to him.
