Sexual harassment, Westminster's macho culture and why more needs to be done - a podcast by Reach Podcasts

There is only one topic of conversation in Westminster at the moment: the sex scandal.Some of the allegations have been harrowing to read, others have left a question mark over the careers of senior politicians.On this week’s Ayes to the Left, the Mirror’s deputy editor-in-chief Alison Phillips, Head of Politics Jason Beattie and political correspondent Nicola Bartlett discuss the culture of sleaze in Westminster, the reaction of the party leaders and whether the victims are getting the support they need.In a wide-ranging conversation, we talk about the seriousness of the allegations and why some people have felt intimidated about reporting abuse.Has social media helped or hindered those involved? And are young women especially vulnerable in an environment fuelled by power and ambition?We also debate whether or not it is a “witch hunt,” what more Parliament needs to do and the political consequences for Theresa May.
