Imran Ahmad Khan has said he will resign as MP for Wakefield.when he was found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy earlier this week.In a statement posted to Twitter, Khan said he would be appealing Monday’s court ruling.

‘Questions surrounding sexuality in my community are not trivial, and learning from the press about my orientation, drinking, and past behaviour before I became an MP has not been easy.’Got a story? Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at
