About this episode
Sir Keir Starmer has backed safeguarding minister Jess Phillips, as a fifth abuse survivor calls on her to quit to restore trust in the grooming gangs inquiry.
Beth, Ruth and Harriet explain why the national inquiry into the sexual exploitation of children by grooming gangs in England and Wales has become so poisonous and why the victims are so unhappy.
Plus, as the government faces growing calls to formally strip Prince Andrew of his dukedom – what's the relationship between politics and royalty?
And as membership for the Green Party surges, what's the appeal of the leader Zack Polanski?
Remember, you can also watch Beth Rigby, Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson on YouTube.
