## Resource

Columnist Stella Tsantekidou and Turn Left Media's Curtis Daly were feuding on Twitter earlier this week. In response to our Hannah Spencer interview, Stella wrote: "Yeah no, sorry, MPs are often cooped up in Parliament for 15 hours a day, they will have a drink with journalists or colleagues and will still be discussing politics -their job". Curtis replied: "I'm absolutely ok with MPs not drinking on the job, its not a human right." Today, on the PolJOE sofa, with Ava as mediator, the two have it out.
