Why are so many MPs obsessed with sex? With Kate Lister

It's often said that politics is showbiz for ugly people. So why has parliament produced so many sex scandals? Today in this special Valentine’s Day edition of The Bunker, Andrew Harrison sits down with sex historian and host of Betwixt the Sheets, Kate Lister to rifle through Westminster’s dirty laundry and find out why so many politicians are entangled in sex scandals.

• “When you’re a politician, opportunities for sex come around more often.” – Kate Lister

• “It's such a strange life. You have to be exemplary in everything you do. Is it any wonder that every once in a while they do something stupid?” – Kate Lister

• “I think we are becoming more tolerant of affairs. Is it any of our business?” – Kate Lister
