‘Women’s voices not being heard’
LABOUR has demanded that broadcasters give women more air time in the so-far male-dominated EU referendum debate.
Analysis by the party revealed yesterday that 78 male politicians have made appearances on the most popular BBC and ITV shows to discuss the debate compared with just 18 women.
Former deputy leader Harriet Harman warned that “women are being excluded and the debate narrowed” in a letter demanding action from broadcaster regulator Ofcom.
