Summary

In the week politics marked 100 years since women were given the right to vote, Adam Boulton and guests discuss the suffragettes, feminism and whether there is a level playing field at Westminster. It's also been an interesting week on the Brexit front as leaked reports on its economic impact suggested UK industry could be hit hard while Michel Barnier revealed that, without a customs union and being outside the single market, trade barriers were unavoidable. Joining Adam this week are The Times' senior political correspondent Lucy Fisher, Sky's senior political correspondent Jason Farrell and Head of Data Harry Carr. #vote100 #Brexit #skynews
