Minister turns air blue after dropping glass of water in Brexit debate

Peers were left red-faced after Justice Minister Lord Keen blurted out "arse" after dropping a glass of water during a Brexit debate.

The peer used the expletive after he took an intervention from Baroness Altmann during the EU (Withdrawal) Bill committee stage debate and knocked a glass of water all over himself.

A doorkeeper later mopped up the water from the floor and surrounding desk.
