Moralty in manifestos; Jasvinder Sangheras damehood

Emily Buchanan asks guests, how moral are the manifestos? The story behind Jasvinder Sanghera's damehood. And why a bearded lady might be a saint.

As politicians promise to make us richer, our panellists – Rt Rev David Walker, Quassim Cassam, Seeta Suchak and David Landrum - take a moral approach to the party manifestos. The campaigner against forced marriage, Jasvinder Sanghera, who has just been made a dame, tells her own astonishing story. And a medieval historian, Hannah Skoda, explains why women with beards were considered holy.
