Starmer 'shocked and appalled' by Huw Edwards' charges

Sir Keir Starmer has said he is “shocked and appalled” after Huw Edwards admitted to accessing indecent images of children.

Edwards, previously the BBC’s highest-paid newsreader, admitted three charges of making indecent photographs after he was sent 41 illegal images by convicted paedophile Alex Williams, with seven being of the most serious type.
