On this extremely chonky episode, Ashleigh and Alyx walk you through;
- Proposed changes to the NHS constitution, why they’re bad and how you can resist them (spoiler warning, it’s another consultation)
- Calamitous Kemi’s call for evidence of a non-existent problem
- A poorly-sourced article about DIY HRT for trans people
- And part one of our deep dive into the Cass Review, mapping out some of the connections between the Cass team and figures in the American far-right, among other things. Featuring Dr Cal Horton, Dr Reubs Walsh and Dr Natacha Kennedy
