Ian Collins reacts as protesters in Surrey demanded fuller suspect details after Epsom’s church rape allegation, as police defended limited disclosures during an active investigation. Elsewhere, Labour faced mounting criticism over continued non-compliance with the Supreme Court’s biological-sex ruling across hospitals, councils, police forces and schools. Meanwhile, inspectors warned that overwhelmed forces are failing to arrest some online child-abuse suspects, potentially leaving children exposed to further harm.

| 0:00.0 | The home of common sense. This is talk. As ever, it's bit, the news keeps on coming. Bit of a theme here |
| 0:08.9 | this morning and it ain't pretty when it comes to law and order. Protesters have demanded police |
| 0:14.9 | released descriptions and CCTV footage of the men suspected of gang raping a woman outside a church in Surrey. |

| 0:49.3 | What is going on here? Is it two-tier policing? |
| 0:52.3 | And do we have, should we have the right to know the description |

| 1:23.1 | arguably arresting protesters looking for justice. The number of referrals to police for online child |
| 1:28.4 | sex abuse has risen by 66%. How can our police be too busy to investigate the industrial-scale |
| 1:36.6 | sexual abuse of children? How did we arrive in that peculiar, disturbing, horrific place? |
