Labour's Lucy Powell challenged over Rishi Sunak attack ad

A Labour shadow minister has refused to say whether she stands by a claim in a party attack advert which said Rishi Sunak does not think adults convicted of sexually assaulting children should go to prison.

Shadow culture secretary Lucy Powell repeatedly refused to endorse the ad.

But she told Naga Munchetty on BBC Breakfast that she stood by the campaign, saying it highlighted apparent failings in the justice system.
