Beth Rigby, Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson discuss the UK Supreme Court’s judgment on how a woman should be defined in law.

They also hear from Ellie, a trans woman who says she’s now afraid for her safety and her future.

Harriet literally wrote the law in question, the Equality Act 2010 – she and the team dig into what the judgement means for individuals and institutions across the country.

And on 1 May, there are local and mayoral elections in England and the Runcorn and Helsby by-election. The polling group More in Common has helped us hear what’s on the minds of voters in Doncaster.
