On the second episode of this three-part series, Sky's political correspondent Liz Bates speaks to Parliamentary staffers who lived in fear of the MPs they worked for, developed post-traumatic stress disorders and some who were forced out of the jobs they loved due to bullying.

In The Open Secret, a three part series from Sky News, political correspondent Liz Bates hears from others who have been scared to speak out about inappropriate behaviour and finds out why Westminster seems to struggle to deal with such claims.
