Labour: Rape arrest shows MP vetting process has big issues

Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves says the arrest of an MP on suspicion of rape needs to be a "wake-up call" and shows there "clearly is an issue" with the vetting process for choosing members of parliament.

She highlights the example of former Wakefield MP Imran Ahmad Khan who the Conservatives chose despite being "warned about allegations against him".
