Summary

The Metropolitan Police’s brutal intervention during Saturday’s vigil Sarah Everard leaves the country aghast. What really happened? What needs to change if British cities are to be safe for women? Special guest Alex Massie of The Times and The Spectator joins us to look at the “fantastically illiberal” Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, and give his personal crash course on Scottish politics for the inattentive English. “A lot of forces who are no friend of women are jumping on this issue for their own motives.” – Ayesha Hazarika “Just as Independence was underpriced in 2014, Unionism is underpriced in 2021.” – Alex Massie “In politics, success is sweet but it’s not half as sweet as your enemy’s failure.” – Alex Massie Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison with Yasmeen Serhan and Ayesha Hazarika. Assistant producers: Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.
