Reviewing politics
and culture since 1913

How will the gender care report affect politics?

The team discuss the political implications of the Cass report.


We’ve been digging around in our virtual mailbag and have brought a couple of your questions to discuss. 

One listener asks: What are the political implications of the Cass report and will it affect how British politicians approach the transgender conversation?

And another listener writes in to ask: Could a Starmer win in the UK and a Trump win in the US spell the end for the ‘special relationship’?
