Debra and Peter chat about the latest Sentencing Review and the absolutely vital role of criminal charities within it. They also share their views on the current political landscape, with the latest local elections and the rising prominence of Reform UK.

And discuss the news about an asylum seeker bringing his dog to the UK by small boat, and how some media have sensationalised the story negatively.

Plus, they delve into an initiative Debra was working on to make rented homes more pet-friendly (even if it's an indoor donkey!).
