Do MPs say one thing in public, and another in private? This week, Beth Rigby, Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson ask what’s been going on with the two MPs suspended from the Labour Party over WhatsApp messages containing offensive comments.
Andrew Gwynne and Oliver Ryan both lost the whip after Sunday newspaper revelations.
It’s been a difficult week for Harriet – she’s worked with Andrew Gwynne for a number of years and says it’s made her question her judgement.
Also – are we about to see by-elections as a result?
And in the week the assisted dying debate is back in the news, we discuss the repercussions of the plan to scrap the need for High Court approval after Beth speaks to the MP who has campaigned for the changes, Labour’s Kim Leadbeater.
