Lefties clash over MPs drinking in Parliament

About this episode

Stella Tsantekidou and Curtis Daly debate the appropriateness of MPs drinking in Parliament.

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.
