Kamala Harris brat memes and Keir Starmer suspends Labour rebels

Giles Whittell is joined by three guests and an audience in the Tortoise newsroom for this live episode of The News Meeting. They discuss how Kamala Harris has taken social media by storm since declaring that she’s running to be the Democratic presidential nominee; Keir Starmer’s decision to suspend seven Labour MPs who rebelled; and why violence against women and girls is a “national emergency”.
