How will the gender care report affect politics?

The team discuss the political implications of the Cass report.


We’ve been digging around in our virtual mailbag and have brought a couple of your questions to discuss. 

One listener asks: What are the political implications of the Cass report and will it affect how British politicians approach the transgender conversation?

And another listener writes in to ask: Could a Starmer win in the UK and a Trump win in the US spell the end for the ‘special relationship’?
