Jess Phillips: 'Women don't matter as much as statues'

Jess Phillips MP has told the Andrew Marr Show that, in the eyes of the law, women do not matter as much as cars, fly-tipping or statues.

The shadow minister for domestic violence said she had to listen to a political candidate talk about raping her; she had no power to report him while misogyny was not a hate crime.

"I had to sit through weeks and weeks of people talking about whether I should or shouldn't be raped."
