Ken Clarke should be sacked as Justice Secretary after comments he made about rape, Labour leader Ed Miliband has said.



During a heated Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Miliband told David Cameron the Justice Secretary should not be in his post at the end of today.



It follows an exchange between BBC Radio 5 Live presenter Victoria Derbyshire and Mr Clarke.



In response to a question about the average five-year prison sentence for rape, Mr Clarke replied: That includes date rape, 17-year-olds having intercourse with 15-year-olds.



Mr Miliband said Mr Clarke then went on to say there were categories of forcible rape and serious rape.

They should increase the sentence of people convicted of Rape. Not lower it. It's giving out the wrong message :\

Rape victims serve a life sentence living with fear that it could happen again. Rape is rape plain and simple. These animals who rape should be locked away for life. Wonder if Ken Clarke's wife or daughter got raped if he would change his disgusting attitude. I agree, he should be sacked and let the door slam him where the sun don't shine.
