Labour MP 'took drugs'

RISING Labour star Chuka Umunna has admitted smoking marijuana as a teenager.

Mr Umunna, 33, the shadow business secretary who is tipped to be a future party leader, said he had previously used cannabis.

He joins a long list of politicians, including former Chancellor Alistair Darling and US President Barack Obama, who have revealed a pot-smoking past.
