Police at a station in Greater Manchester have been accused of unnecessary and invasive strip searches of women, without explanation, behind cell doors. Sky News has spoken to three women, one of whom was detained for 41 hours and also alleges she was sexually assaulted whilst in custody.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said "there is currently no evidence to suggest any GMP employees have misconducted themselves or committed a criminal offence."
On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson talks to our home editor Jason Farrell about the story.
Plus, following Nigel Farage being dropped by the exclusive bank Coutts, which led to an apology from the BBC and NatWest's boss resigning, Niall sits down with our business correspondent Paul Kelso to hear about the fallout.
