Home secretary has apologised for remark at Downing Street reception about spiking his wife's drink

The home secretary is facing calls to resign after making jokes about spiking his wife's drink with a date rape drug at a Downing Street reception.

James Cleverly apologised for making the remarks just hours after the Home Office announced plans to crack down on spiking - putting drugs into another person's drink or directly into their body without their knowledge.
