Lisa Nandy says there is a "culture of silence" in the TV industry and a "power imbalance" between executives and those starting out in their careers. Her comments come after an ITV News investigation found more than 40 people claimed to have witnessed or experienced inappropriate behaviour from TV chef Gino D'Acampo.

A friend of Jaysley Beck has said sexual abuse in the Army is still going on years after the former Royal Artillery gunner's death. The body of the 19-year-old was found in a locker room at Wiltshire's Larkhill Camp in 2021. She had been subjected to relentless harassment from her line manager, Bombardier Ryan Mason, an inquest was told. Beck had also filed a complaint against Battery Sergeant Major Michael Webber who "pinned her down" and tried to kiss her at a work social. Former soldier Tamzin Hort compared being a woman in the Army to being "a piece of meat in a tank of sharks" and that "people get sexually assaulted left, right and centre, but nothing's done about it".
