Summary

Founder and Director of The New Culture Forum Peter Whittle kicks off today's show by delving into the morning's top headlines as thousands of schools and colleges are in danger of breaking the law over recognising pupils' gender, a report warned yesterday. NHS GP and Broadcaster Dr Renee Hoenderkamp joins shortly after as doctors have warned that a nationwide clamour to get hold of new weight-loss injections is causing a “genuine threat to patient safety”, after the first NHS supplies arrived yesterday. Data Editor for The Spectator Michael Simmons returns to The Independent Republic to discuss recent statistics by the DWP as Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester one in five people in the working-age population are claiming out-of-work benefits. Author, mediaeval historian and former supreme court judge closes the show to discuss his new book and what can be done about the rift between the European Union and the UK. All that and so much more, so tune in!

0:27.9	1,000 schools which are still currently out of commission.
0:31.2	So I'm not quite sure if you're a parent what you're being told, whether you're able to put your kids into school or whether you're having to take time off in order to look after them so that they can do their homework remotely.
0:41.3	Everybody knows that is a mission for disasters and we don't want to do that. Meanwhile, the concrete crisis has taken another turn because of course the education minister, the education secretary rather, got herself into some hot water yesterday by swearing off-mic.
0:56.1	She was basically interviewed by ITV.

1:04.5	should she now be out of a job?
1:05.8	Well, I don't think you can fire somebody for saying what she thinks.
1:09.0	I'd rather encourage ministers to be a bit more
