Tory MP Suspended!
And, Josh Widdicombe on how he tried (and failed) to become a journalist
Today, we look at the suspension of a Tory MP after claims he made a late night call to ask for money to pay off "bad people".
Mark Menzies "strongly" disputes the claims, but has had the whip removed amid allegations that he misused party funds and abused his position. Adam and Chris discuss with Newsnight political editor Nick Watt and Bloomberg associate editor Ailbhe Rea.
Plus, Josh Widdicombe tells Adam and Chris all about his experiences trying to become a local news reporter, for the second series of TV show Hold the Front Page.
