On this democratically-charged episode, Flint and Ashleigh rake over the coals of:
- A listener’s digest of the goings-on in the EHRC, including the now-confirmed new Chairperson, Mary-Ann Stephenson.
- NHS Fife nurse Sandie Peggie’s tribunal and her questionable conduct within it.
- A roundup of various Trans Pride events attended by the team.
- Regular segments Action Alley, Pond Hoppin’ and Loser’s Corner.
- Alyx reports from a protest outside of Wes Streeting’s constituency office, and a broader conversation about some less polite ways of making our voices heard.
