Hi, this is Pod Save the UK. I'm Nish Kumar. And I'm Coco Khan. Deja vu alert. Peter Mandelson is back in the headlines. Shocker. There's been a fresh release of files and messages which has raised more questions about his appointment and what he really thought of Kirstehmus government. We will be getting into it all with political journalists and Zoe Proudman. Also, on the show, a major review has warned that more than a million young people

in the UK are not earning or learning, so we'll be asking how Britain ended up with a generation

being told to get on in life while the routes to work, training and support have been quietly stripped back.

We'll also be looking into the EHRC's announcement that it would exclude transgender people from single-sex, toilets and changement.

We'll be joined by Sabah Chowdrich, speaker consultant, founder of Transpride Brighton, to unpack it all.

people gathered outside a Southampton police station on Tuesday evening. The far-right activist

Tommy Robinson was among speakers who addressed the crowd. So this is obviously a story that's

still unfolding as we record on Wednesday. Henry's father, Mark Noak, condemned the inhumane and degrading treatment of his son by the police,

but added, we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension.

We want his story to help make our streets safer for everyone,

which is a response of remarkable dignity and restraint by someone who is going through the worst

imaginable thing any human being can go through. I can't even imagine what they're going through

and I'm, I just, I wish, I wish their powerful words would be heard even just out of respect

for them, like to not increase their pain to have to even worry about this at
