Former Labour Party chief of staff Matt McCarten on Sharma meeting

From Morning Report, 7:28 am on 23 August 2022

Labour's caucus will this morning consider a motion to expel outspoken MP Gaurav Sharma.

Sharma has made repeated public appearances accusing colleagues of lying, bullying and a cover-up - claims denied by Labour.

Matt McCarten - a former chief of staff for two Labour Party leaders - says it should never have reached this point and believes the party is paying for neglecting its back benchers.

He spoke to Corin Dann.
