  • Show 389. Julie Bindel
    Apr 28 2025

    Following the unanimous Supreme Court ruling that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law, Julie tells us how and why we got here.


    This is a fascinating history not just of women's rights, but of the distinct needs of the lesbian and gay communities.


    If you've wondered how this issue became so big and how it's come to dominate so much of our discourse, Julie is here to explain the roots of it all.


    This is absolutely compelling.

    He went on to work for Blue State Digital, the team who masterminded Obama's 2008 and 2012 campaigns.


    This is a masterclass is the art of campaigning from one of Morgan McSweeney's former colleagues.


    Plus, why he loves checked shirts so much.
