Summary
Reality show Married At First Sight UK on Channel 4 is facing serious allegations this week, so Beth Rigby, Ruth Davidson, and Harriet Harman discuss whether more should be done to make reality TV safer – and if MPs ought to get involved. Plus, with three by-elections coming up, has Andy Burnham’s bid to return to Westminster thrown the constituency of Makerfield into chaos? And why might the North Sea oil reserves become a hot button issue for voters in Aberdeen South? For a full list of candidates standing in your area, visit the Electoral Commission website. Channel 4 was approached for comment. Got a question for the burner phone? WhatsApp 07934 200 444 or email [email protected] . And if you didn't know, you can also watch Beth, Ruth, and Harriet on YouTube.
