Tom Watson 'Sincerely Sorry' For Brittan Slur

Campaigning Labour MP Tom Watson has apologised for describing Lord Brittan as "as close to evil as any human being could get". Mr Watson told a Home Affairs Select Committee he was only repeating the words of an alleged sex abuse survivor, but admitted he should not have used the phrase. "I do regret using that emotive language, I shouldn't have done and I'm sincerely sorry for repeating it, it was unnecessary," Mr Watson said.
