Can someone explain me what's going on? I'd do a research but I'm too creeped out right now, and in terror of what I may find.

He didn't actually f**k a pig, right?...

As part of a student prank/initiation ritual he put his penis in the mouth of a dead pig, which somebody else was holding.

Well it's unlikely he ever actually was a member of the club which would have done this in the first place, so...

I am not sure the facts really are all that relevant in this case. Often these things takes on a life of their own, voters will never be able to look at Cameron again without thinking: Did he actually do it?

There is an old story about a Danish cabaret star in the 20s whose rival spread a rumor she had had sex with a Saint Bernard. Completely unfounded, of course. Nevertheless the audience started balking at her whenever she went on stage and she eventually had to quit. Later emigrated to Argentina (which would be an ironic place for Cameron to end). Not saying Cameron will meet the same faith, but there is something about accusations of animal sex (and the like) that just tends to stick. It really appeals to human imagination and the coarsest instincts of the public.

Furthermore, this reminds of an excerpt from Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear & Loathing: On The Campaign Trail ’72 about LBJ when running a losing battle for Congress in 1948 against a wealthy pig farmer in Texas:

A couple of interesting articles about Dan Jarvis MP, a potential contender (or challenger) for the Labour Party Leadership:

Boris John won't be standing the the Conservative leadership. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-36570120

Boris Johnson not being the next permanent leader of the Conservative Party is actually a bigger surprise to me than the UK voting to leave the European Union (although they're both directly related).

Am hearing lots and lots of chatter from Labor friends/twitter that Corbyn could be on his way out either in the Spring or the Summer, and that bids are being put together. Not sure how true it it is but the combination of Brexit+by elections, and the continued struggle of the Corbyn project could make it true

A source close to Corbyn has told the Telegraph that the claim is ‘absolutely untrue’ FWIW:
