Reaction to Question Time's big talking points, including benefits and the minimum wage, fracking, immigration and sexual harassment allegations against Lord Rennard.
John Pienaar and Isabel Hardman present this week, with the big discussion around the Chancellor's plans to raise the minimum wage above inflation.
Also on the programme, the Labour MP Sarah Champion and Times columnist Gaby Hinsliff discussed whether parliament is doing enough to accommodate women, after allegations the Liberal Democrat peer Lord Rennard sexually harassed female party activists. One of them - Susan Gaszczak - has waived her anonymity to call for an apology.
The big subjects on Question Time, which came from Durham, included whether the Channel 4 programme Benefits Street is an example of Broken Britain, if the benefits of fracking worth the potential hazards, and is Francois Hollande's affair a public or private matter?
