Have focused more on the process instead of the people. I think it is a real sad moment when were focussed far more on the process of what time call was placed versus the fact that there was loss of military soldiers and there were individuals that were killed in action. We should be talking about the heroes. We should be talking about their lives and that hasnt been the focused. There are congressional leaders calling for an apology. Will there be an apology . Im sorry. Theres congressmen like Elijah Cummings calling for an apology from the chief of staff. I dont think that general kelly was wrong and i dont sympathy he should offer an apology. Where did he get that information . He was there. Everyone wants to narrow this down to a nineminute speech. This is something that took place over the course of the day. You have two different accounts. Im talking about when he raw and emotional accounts that anyone could give. I think he has a lot of credibility on this topic and a lot of cre

Ago. She says it was not a problem to her, she says it is no reason for him to resign. Is this a nervous breakdown at westminster . There is more in the newspapers about what he may have done, in different circumstances, westminster isnt the one of the places where the Harvey Weinstein allegations have triggered a whole. Weinstein allegations have triggered a whole. They weinstein allegations have triggered a whole. They have empowered people, mainly women, not entirely, to say, inappropriate behaviour that happened in the past, i was a victim of this, it is unleashed all this. To me, some things make it particularly feverish in westminster. One, the very nervous state of politics at the moment. A very wea k state of politics at the moment. A very weak government, finding it ha rd to very weak government, finding it hard to maintain discipline. This is not just about conservative hard to maintain discipline.

Good to have you with us today. Michael fallon was britains defence secretary in more ways than one. The minister in charge of the armed forces was also the first man over the top when political flak started to fly, the safe pair of hands when the government needed a reassuring presence at the microphone. Those hands and that voice cost him his job this week. He resigned abruptly because, he said, his behaviour towards women had fallen short of what modern life dictates. Hes the most prominent political casualty of the campaign against men using power to extract sexual favours which began with claims against Harvey Weinstein, one of the most powerful figures in hollywood. He is under criminal investigation. Michael fallon faces no such allegations. The only thing he said he had done wrong was repeate
