The scandal surrounding Labour MP Jared O’Mara has been the talk of Westminster this week. Today we look at the problems of misogyny, harassment and sexual abuse both in politics and in our society as a whole, and ask whether perpetrators should ever be given a second chance. Plus, as Donald Trump and others threaten democratic norms, we ask why so few politicians show the courage that this moment in history requires. All that and more on this week’s Update The State podcast.
