In this week’s episode, we talk about reducing everyone’s working week to 4 days. Sounds like a great idea? Well you better listen in.

In Front Page Faceoff, we talk about the right to vote at the age of 16 - are 16 yr olds only good for a bit of fun, or are they actually mature enough to take an interest in their political future?

And we open up the Rant Room, where we discuss the recent Supreme Court ruling on ‘how to define woman’ in accordance to the Equalities Act 2010.
