    I Feel Sorry for Wes Streeting, but Not for Katya.
    Nov 29 2023
    Wes Streeting has been on the receiving end of some horrific homophobia, which is grossly unacceptable. We explain what happened, and why it's so worrying. We talk about the Autumn Statement, and also why the famous drag queen, Katya, has really put her foot in it by saying Glasgow is on somehow the same level as... Gaza.

  • Does it really matter if there aren't any openly LGBT politicians in the Cabinet?

    Does it really matter if there aren't any openly LGBT politicians in the Cabinet?
    Nov 21 2023
    So, it’s been quite the week hasn’t it. Suella Braverman and David Cameron seem the be the names on everyone’s lips, even Kay Burley’s, where one of the first things she said about DC was that he’d put on weight. I’m sure if a male presenter had said that about a female presenter, there’d be outrage, but hey ho. We’ve got a great show for you this week, talking about the reshuffle and whether or not it matters that there aren’t any openly LGBT ministers attending cabinet now.
