Summary
Led by Nigel Farage, the Brexit Party was formed in March of this year. In May it took 29 seats in the EU elections, more than any other party and nearly one third of all votes cast. Polls suggest the Brexit Party attracts the support of more men than women. But there are many women among the many voters who still feel strongly that the UK should fulfil the 2016 referendum result and leave with or without a deal. The Brexit party is holding a series of events as part of a national tour. Jane went to an event in Southport.
The reality of searching for part time or flexible work. Just how hard is it to find good jobs - that make use of your skills and abilities - part time? We’ll be looking at new research from the flexible working consultancy Timewise, showing just how few advertised jobs there are for part time or flexible work, and asking why. We’ll also be getting advice on how to negotiate if you see your dream job advertised but at full time hours you can’t manage or don’t want - are employers likely to consider a strong candidate on fewer hours? And what can employers do to make part time or flexible work work for them?
A few weeks ago we asked our listeners to get in touch and send us a picture that somehow captured them at their best. Not just looking your best, but feeling your best. Today Kelly Ford tells us about a reunion captured on camera.
Historian Clare Wright on the overlooked history of the Australian suffragettes and their impact on the campaign for votes for women in Britain.
