What should lead the news? Three people pitch the story they think matters most to Tortoise editor James Harding.
In this episode he’s joined by Giles Whittell, Jess Winch and special guest Zelda Perkins.
Zelda was Harvey Weinstein’s personal assistant and is now a campaigner. She was one of the first women to break a non-disclosure agreement after she signed one with Harvey Weinstein. She’s the co-founder of Can’t Buy My Silence.
The team discuss claims of “bullying, discrimination and harassment” at ITV daytime shows like This Morning, Conservative grumblings over the ECHR and the Ohio vote that delivered a win for abortion rights campaigners.
