Watson Refuses To Apologise Over Brittan Claims

Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson has refused to apologise for raising rape and child abuse allegations against the late Leon Brittan. Mr Watson was met with cries of "shame" from the Conservative benches in the House of Commons when he failed to say sorry over claims against the former chancellor. Mr Watson has faced intense criticism for his comments about Lord Brittan in relation to a police investigation into an alleged VIP paedophile ring.
