Video: Chris Huhne denying charges last year

Back in February last year Liberal Democrat MP Chris Huhne stood down from his role as the Energy and Climate Change Secretary.

Speaking outside court at the time Huhne said that he was innocent of allegations claiming that he had perverted the course of justice and that he intended to fight them.

However, it has now emerged that Huhne has changed his plea to guilty after entering a formal not guilty plea only last week.

The MP for Eastleigh in Hampshire will also be stepping down from Parliament.
