Ooh I’d be tempted to phone up were I around tomorrow. Jess trots out the usual but won’t allow her ‘facts’ to be interrogated

Jess Barnard saying that she thinks Stock should be sacked but a minute later denying it.

I thought she would, chair of young Labour wanting a women sacked.

Listen from 32:30. It's a surprisingly long segment and worth following how it develops.

I think the BBC is finding its backbone over this one.

That was a fantastic part of the programme, everyone should give it a listen. The answers started with Matthew Goodwin being reasonable in terms of the importance of free speech in unversities, it moved onto Jess Barnard who in about a minute came up with a handful of slanderous statements, then when Matthew Goodwin was able to respond he went very strongly in at the totalitarian tendencies he was seeing. Including Jess Barnard saying that she thinks Stock should be sacked but a minute later denying it.

Unusually, the host, Chris Mason, allowed the topic to run as it became increasingly ill-tempered.

Jess Barnard is the Young Labour member who was being investigated by Labour for referring to T*RFs on Twitter, but recently had the investigation dropped. Labour claimed that it was a mistake to initiate an investigation into her.
