About this episode

The episode discusses the assault of a woman who heckled Nigel Farage and the response from his party, alongside reflections from callers about their unrecognized learning needs.

Reform claims to stand for women’s safety and free speech. So why was a young woman assaulted for heckling Nigel Farage and why did party figures respond with mockery rather than condemnation? Plus, callers reflect on the “other life” they might have lived if their ADHD, autism or learning needs had been recognised at school. This episode was recorded on the 7th of September.
