A former Conservative justice minister has been branded “completely inappropriate” for questioning the jury conviction of his fellow MP Imran Ahmad Khan.

Crispin Blunt said Khan was the victim of a “dreadful miscarriage of justice” after the Wakefield MP was found guilty on Monday of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy in 2008.
