This week we spoke to Maria Caulfield, the MP for Lewes, the Minister for Women, and the Minister for Mental Health and Women’s Health Strategy.

Sir Chris Bryant told the House that he feels the most unsafe he's ever felt as a gay man, and put some of the blame at Kemi Badenoch's door, saying her 'rhetoric' was part of the problem. Is he right? Kemi didn't seem to think so. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, the Chairman of the Young Republicans, Rick Loughery, joins Luke and Albie, as they find out how it's possible to be both gay and a Republican in the US. They also look at how the conservative parties differ between the US and UK. The new Health Secretary announced a groundbreaking research programme to eradicate HIV in the UK, and why does Britney Spears not appear at the top of Albie's Spotify Wrapped for this year?

Wes Streeting has been on the receiving end of some horrific homophobia, which is grossly unacceptable. We explain what happened, and why it's so worrying. We talk about the Autumn Statement, and also why the famous drag queen, Katya, has really put her foot in it by saying Glasgow is on somehow the same level as... Gaza. Hosted on Acast.

So, it’s been quite the week hasn’t it. Suella Braverman and David Cameron seem the be the names on everyone’s lips, even Kay Burley’s, where one of the first things she said about DC was that he’d put on weight. I’m sure if a male presenter had said that about a female presenter, there’d be outrage, but hey ho. We’ve got a great show for you this week, talking about the reshuffle and whether or not it matters that there aren’t any openly LGBT ministers attending cabinet now.

The boys are all off this week as, so take a listen to Albie and get a behind the scenes view of what really goes in to putting a party conference together, and the inside scoop on what Rishi Sunak is really like as a party leader, from President of the National Convention and Conference Chairman, Peter Smallwood.

Standing to be the next Mayor of London, Susan Hall AM has had a history of electoral success, and a pretty varied career. She joins us this week to talk about her plans for London and what she intends to do to improve the lives of LGBT+ people across the city. As well as talking about how she got to where she is now, we ask her for her thoughts on the current state of the protests across London. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is quite the episode. Joe and Albie have quite a heated debate about 'free speech absolutism', and whether or not being hurt or offended can, or should, be legislated. Does calling someone the 'n-word' or a homophobic slur automatically mean that someone should be prosecuted? This comes after Labour announced that they plan to impose prison sentences for misgendering. We also discuss newly released footage of a pride flag being torn down at a pro-Palestine march and Luke asks whether or not there is a 'crisis of intersectionality?'. Hosted on Acast.

This week, Luke and Albie address the Pink News article about our podcast episode where we spoke about puberty blockers, and why their lack of journalistic integrity to report things accurately is detrimental to LGBT people. The boys then address the 'Queers for Palestine' movement, shedding a light on why this really is a misguided movement. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
