Felicity Jones has been nominated for a Best Supporting Actress BAFTA for her role in The Brutalist, in which she plays Erzsébet, a Hungarian journalist who emigrates to the US in the late 1950s to join her architect husband. She joins Anita Rani to discuss her portrayal of this complex character and the other memorable roles she's taken on, from Ruth Bader Ginsberg to Jane Wilde Hawking.A new report by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Eating Disorders highlights what they are calling ‘widespread neglect' in services across the UK. They have found that patients in some areas have been discharged with a Body Mass Index of lower than 15 - which is associated with substantially increased mortality. To discuss the findings of the report Anita is joined by the Chair of the APPG, Vera Hobhouse MP and Hope Virgo, Secretariat of the APPG and campaigner, who has recovered fully from an eating disorder herself.More people in their late 20s are still living with their parents – it's up by more than a third in nearly two decades according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. Men are also more likely than women to stay in the family home, with 23% of 25-34 year old men living with their parents compared to 15% of women the same age. We speak to mum of four and counsellor Lucy Cavendish who has three adult children living at home, and Associate Professor and family therapist Dr Hannah Sherbersky.

In this week's episode, we speak with eating disorder advocate, Nicky Smith, about report released by The All-Party Parliamentary Group, “The Right To Health: People with eating disorders failed”.The report shares the experiences of those impacted by eating disorders and the inaccessible care for those who need it.As part of the report, we are calling on the Government to:

Despite the fact that 51% of the population will experience menopause, and the estimated 13 million people who are currently peri or menopausal in the UK, the topic of menopause has remained taboo. In 2022 I was delighted to speak to two advocates driving change in the national conversation around menopause on their experience of this transition, and what needs to change to ensure more women have access to the support they need – including those in the justice system. I spoke with Davina McCall, renowned TV presenter and household name who has presented documentaries about the menopause and is author of Menopausing, The Positive Roadmap to Your Second Spring which seeks to debunk myths, and break the shameful silence over the menopause. I was also joined by Carolyn Harris, MP for Swansea East who established the all-party parliamentary group (APPG) on menopause and has played a pivotal role in putting menopause on the national agenda.

Procurement accounts for around a third of all government expenditure – but in recent years it has been hit by a number of negative headlines. Issues with purchasing PPE in the pandemic, and more recently the Post Office scandal, have led to questions about how to hold government and suppliers to account when things go wrong. The soon to be implemented Procurement Act includes measures to improve accountability, but it is unclear how effective these will be. This event explored what the government can do to strengthen accountability. Katy Balls, Deputy Political Editor at The Spectator Daniel Bruce, Chief Executive of Transparency International UK Nick Davies, Programme Director at the Institute for Government Joe Powell MP, Chair of APPG on Anti-Corruption and Responsible Tax and Member of Parliament for Kensington and Bayswater This event was chaired by Emma Norris, Deputy Director of the Institute for Government.

While the FSU persists in its mission to remain politically non-partisan, we are worried that the new government could bring in laws that criminalise vast swathes of speech. Freddie Attenborough highlights these concerns in an article for our website and we begin today with a discussion around the five primary free expression issues that he identifies: the APPG definition of Islamophobia, Labour's proposed Race Equality Act, a trans-inclusive conversion therapy ban, a possible Hate Crime & Public Order Act (England & Wales), and greater restriction on the freedom of the press. In the coming years, we suspect we will need to fight a number of test cases in which we challenge whether the new laws are compatible with our existing legislation, including the Human Rights Act. The reality of the UK's free speech problem is underlined by our quarterly analysis of FSU casework stats, which is hot off the press. Since our inception in February 2020, we have handled nearly 2,700 cases and, when we know the outcome, we achieve a favourable outcome for our members over 75% of the time. Shockingly, nearly one quarter of the workplace cases that we see lead to initial dismissal or the loss of a working contract (though FSU involvement may ultimately lead to some form of vindication for our member). This highlights how rapidly situations escalate in these fraught times. We end with the good news that, with our help, an FSU member has successfully fought back after being banned from a pub for gender critical views. It is especially chilling to note that this happened to a prospective parliamentary candidate during the UK's general election campaign, a time when a robust exchange of differing political opinions is surely an essential part of the democratic process.    ‘That's Debatable!' is edited by Jason Clift.

With the Government's controversial Rwanda Bill currently stuck between the Commons and the Lords, this timely special episode focuses on the UK's asylum policy. Nish takes up an invitation to speak about the issue at the House of Lords. The event has been organised by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Refugees, in conjunction with the makers of a new film called Io Capitano - which follows the perilous migration journey of two young boys travelling from Senegal to Europe in search of a better life. Nish joins Labour peer Lord Dubs, the co-chair of the APPG on Refugees, in his office afterwards to hear how he and his colleagues are “digging their heels in” to try and amend the Rwanda Bill. Lord Dubs tells Nish what he learnt from a recent trip to Calais to meet asylum seekers first-hand. They also discuss what a more humane asylum system might look like and whether the next Labour government can deliver it. Back in the studio, Nish and Coco discuss the extent to which arts and culture can have the power to bring about change.With special thanks to Altitude Films and Think-Film Impact Production. Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media. Contact us via email: PSUK@reducedlistening.co.ukWhatsApp: 07514 644 572 (UK) or + 44 7514 644 572Insta: https://instagram.com/podsavetheukTwitter: https://twitter.com/podsavetheukTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheukFacebook: https://facebook.com/podsavetheukYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/podsavetheworld Guest:Lord Dubs, Labour peer and co-chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Refugees Useful link:Io Capitano trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6fLvLN2EqM

The FSU has published an essay by Tim Dieppe (Head of Public Policy at Christian Concern) with a Foreword by Professor Richard Dawkins. Tim argues that any attempt to define ‘Islamophobia' will have a chilling effect on free speech – and we agree. The dystopian graphic at the top of the paper underlines the point that if society were to accept the APPG's definition of ‘Islamophobia', and then do its best to eradicate it, we'd have to shut down every Islamic Studies department in Britain's universities. Despite being ill-thought out and not fit for purpose, the APPG's definition is gaining traction and is likely to become more entrenched, not less, over the coming years. Christianity is up next as we turn to an article in the Telegraph revealing that the Church of England is hiring a “deconstructing whiteness” officer to combat racial injustice. The Rt Rev Rose Hudson-Wilkin, the Bishop of Dover, told Synod on 25th February that Anglicans needed to “further embed racial justice” and should not be afraid of being called “woke”. We discuss whether the Church of England might not be in danger of earning a rebuke akin to that received by the first century church in Laodicea. The trendy new Woke religion ends our line-up today as we discuss BBC partiality in its treatment of Justin Webb for saying, “trans women, in other words males” on BBC Radio 4 last August. We could do worse than quote former Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, from a recent article for the Daily Mail, “the problem is that the erasure of biological truth is becoming a professional practice by our media”. ‘That's Debatable!' is edited by Jason Clift.

A parliamentary committee has issued a new and scathing report about Primodos - a pregnancy test drug issued by doctors between the1950s and 1970s. The All Party Parliamentary Group on Hormone Pregnancy Tests says claims there is no proven link between Primodos and babies being born with malformations is “factually and morally wrong". The report claims evidence was “covered up” that it's possible to “piece together a case that could reveal one of the biggest medical frauds of the 20th century”. Around 1.5 million women in Britain were given hormone pregnancy tests which was 40 times the strength of an oral contraceptive pill. We hear from Hannah Bardell the SNP MP for Livingstone and a member of the APPG and Marie Lyon who gave birth to a daughter with limbs that were not fully formed - she had been prescribed Primodos. She has been campaigning for nearly 50 years.One in four children starting school in England and Wales are not toilet-trained, according to teachers who now spend a third of their day supporting pupils who are not school-ready, a report has found. That's according to the early-years charity, Kindred2 who polled 1,000 primary school staff and 1,000 parents. Only 50% of parents think they are solely responsible for toilet-training their child, while one in five parents think children do not need to be toilet-trained before starting reception. What's the reality in schools and whose responsibility is it? We hear from Steve Marsland, Headteacher, Russell Scott Primary school in Denton, Greater Manchester.Last week we got excited about big hair having a comeback after Miley Cyrus' backcombed tresses at the Grammys made headlines. The larger-than-life hair-do was a fun change from the straight hair that has dominated fashion for decades. But it didn't last long - Paris Fashion Week is now in full swing and we're back to the slicked back buns. So, will big hair ever truly come back and why did it fall out of fashion? Hair historian Rachael Gibson, and academic, and author of Don't Touch My Hair, Emma Dabiri join Anita Rani to discuss big hair.In a new series, Woman's Hour is starting frank and open conversations about how porn has shaped lives and relationships. Reporter Ena Miller has spoken to a woman who had to decide where to draw the line around her partner's porn use, and we revisit an interview with Erika Lust, the adult filmmaker whose work focusses on female pleasure and ethical production.Anita takes a walk through female history looking at 101 objects with the writer Annabelle Hirsch. There are artefacts of women celebrated by history and of women unfairly forgotten by it, examples of female rebellion and of self-revelation. They delve into a cabinet of curiosities ranging from the bidet and the hatpin to radium-laced chocolate and Kim Kardashian's ring.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Kirsty Starkey Studio Manager: Duncan Hannant

The Financial Conduct Authority mistakenly told a whistleblower they were "no longer entitled to the protections offered under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998," (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/23/contents) after it gave permission for their name to be disclosed to their former employer. The mistake went uncorrected for six months and was overlooked by the Complaints Commissioner in August.In this episode, Alexander Robson and Lindsey Rogerson discuss the regulator's apology and the FCA's apparent lack of enforcement action against firms which have acknowledged failures in their whistle-blowing procedures, as well as how the regulator could be more transparent in the quarterly data set it produces on individuals who have made protected disclosures.They close out the podcast with an assessment of the likelihood of an update to the UK's 25-year-old employment protections for whistleblowers.The Compliance Clarified podcast series covers a wide range of topics which affect compliance officers at financial institutions and aims to help them navigate the often-challenging regulatory environment.

Speakers include: Patricia Rice, Low Pay Commissioner; Matt Warman MP, Co-chair of the APPG on the Future of Work; John Kelly, Irish Workplace Relations; Lindsay Judge, Research Director at the Resolution Foundation; and Torsten Bell, Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation. Debates about raising, or indeed cutting, legal protections for workers are a staple of British politics – with welcome progress including a rising minimum wage driving down low pay. But too often the reality that these rights, rates and rules mean little if they aren't enforced is forgotten. The systems used to enforce workers' rights are often fragmented and underfunded, making it harder to identify breaches and deter poor behaviour. It is still far too easy for bad employers to undercut good employers by ducking minimum legal standards. And our focus on individuals to enforce their own rights brings challenges when those most at risk from rights violations are the least likely to report it. The UK needs a new approach to better protect workers and enforce their rights, informed by our own experience but also that of other countries. To what extent do UK firms comply with workers' rights? How are workers' rights currently enforced in the UK, and how does this differ to practices in other countries? And what reforms might enable enforcement agencies to be more successful at protecting workers from rights violations? To mark the culmination of a three-year investigation into labour market enforcement – supported by Unbound Philanthropy and drawing on contributions from international research partners – the Resolution Foundation is hosting a half-day conference to debate and answer these questions. Following presentations of the key highlights from the investigation's final report, we will hear from leading experts on the challenges of enforcing workers' rights and how these can be overcome.

Shownotes:According to a report from last year by a leading consulting firm - compared with the other developed countries, the most disadvantaged in the UK are less likely to climb the income ladder and economically advantaged tend to stay at the top. No surprise there…It is no secret that, the on going impact of the pandemic, cost of living crisis, economic recession and global uncertainty has pushed more households and therefore young people into poverty. For young people from underprivileged backgrounds this is going to deeply impact their ability to bridge the attainment gap between them and their better off peers. Young people without access to resources, mentoring and networks required to progress will struggle to reach their full potential. In 2023, instead of disappearing, the barriers to achieving upward social mobility are getting more and more entrenched in our society…..No surprise there either…… To understand more about social mobility, imperatives and impact I spoke with Tokunbo Ajasa Oluwa, CEO of Career Ready, a passionate advocate for young people and social mobility. We spoke about the findings of the last State of National Report by the Social Mobility Commission and discussed why as a developed country we have been unable to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty?

One hundred years ago Edith Thompson and her lover Frederick Bywaters were hanged for the murder of her husband Percy, even though there was no evidence that she was involved with the killing. What condemned Edith were the letters that she had written to Freddy, which were interpreted by the law as incitement to murder. Laura Thompson has brought the letter together in a book Au Revoir Now Darlint. She joins Nuala to discuss the story and why the case still resonates a century later. A report out today by the charity the Fawcett Society has found a ‘toxic and exclusionary' culture in Westminster which they say risks pushing out women MPs and having a damaging effect on democracy. Nuala is joined by Jemima Olchawski, CEO of the Fawcett Society as well as the Conservative MP Maria Miller who is Chair of the APPG on Women and Parliament and the Labour MP Stella Creasy who has campaigned for better maternity rights for MPs. When Nuala spoke about donor conceived children on Woman's Hour last week, listener Hayley got in touch to share her own story, not only of being a donor conceived person herself, but of using a donor to conceive her own children too. She explains why she thinks it's so important to be open and honest about your child's conception. Dragons' Den has returned to our TV screens and the Dragons were impressed by Lucy Rout's pitch. The 28 year old became the first entrepreneur in 20 series to receive investment and a job offer from Peter Jones alongside investment backing from two other dragons. Lucy is the founder of Tabuu, a business that sells stylish pill cases with the aim of removing the stigma around taking medication. Lucy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the 25, and following reconstruction of her digestive system has to take medication every time she eats. She talks to Nuala about her illness and her experience in the Den. Presented by Nuala McGovern Producer: Louise Corley Editor: Beverley Purcell

The UK government has announced plans to position the country as a global hub for cryptoasset technology and investment, recognizing the potential impact of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLT) on areas such as digital identities and decentralized voting systems. The UK's Blockchain APPG, led by Martin Docherty-Hughes MP and established in 2018 to facilitate understanding of these technologies among regulators, has invited the founder of Electroneum, Richard Ells, to join its Advisory Board. This marks a significant milestone for Electroneum. Richard Ells to join UK's Blockchain Parliamentary Group Richard was first involved with APPG Blockchain in June 2022 when he was invited to speak at UK Parliament alongside four other industry experts to share their organisation's opinions on the importance of supportive digital asset regulations in the UK. In addition to Martin Docherty-Hughes MP who leads APPG Blockchain, the group's officers include; Kevan Jones MP, Viscount Waverley, The Earl of Lindsay, and Stephen Metcalfe MP. The advisory board includes; Dr. Scott Steedman (BSI Group), Charles Kerrigan (CMS Tax Law), Dr. Navin Ramachandran (IOTA Foundation), Chris Trew (Stratis Platform), amongst a few others. “I welcome Electroneum and its Founder, Richard Ells, to the Advisory Board within the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Blockchain (APPG Blockchain). Working across blockchain developers, industry adoption and government in the areas of Blockchain policy, regulation and digital infrastructure development is vital for this sector to unlock its full purpose and potential. We must enable our business models, economy and society to fully benefit from the advantages of Blockchain technology. Support from Electroneum is valued alongside other significant industry players. ” – Prof. Birgitte Andersen, CEO of Big Innovation Centre – APPG Blockchain Secretariat. Ells has been a leading advocate for the adoption of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies in the UK for many years, as the company has been operating in this field since the mid-2010s. “It is a tremendous pleasure to be working alongside some of the UK's most forward-thinking members of parliament. I'm confident that with the help of APPG Blockchain, the UK government can develop a strong foundation upon which blockchain and DLT innovation is supported and not hindered by long-established laws, many of which were established long before electricity was even a concept, let alone blockchain! I have no doubt that our work with Electroneum and AnyTask.com will provide invaluable insight for the guidance put forth to government by APPG Blockchain,” says Ells. Over the last five years, Ells and his team have helped to deliver on various solutions that not only simplify the use of cryptocurrency but enable people to embrace new ways to earn an income online without the need for a bank account; a global issue faced by more than one-fifth of the world's population. Today the Electroneum ecosystem supports more than four million users worldwide. Meanwhile, AnyTask.com is enabling freelancers to get paid in Electroneum's native cryptocurrency (ETN) to alleviate the need for a bank account, whilst helping to reduce Seller Fees to zero and facilitate cross-border transfers at a fraction of the cost. Thhis comprehensive approach to cryptocurrency, which has been in operation for several years, will provide valuable insights for the UK's APPG as they advise policymakers on the potential impact of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies in various sectors.

In this week's episode Edwina explores the often unspoken impact of menopause on women's lives. Despite the fact that 51% of the population will experience menopause, and the estimated 13 million people who are currently peri or menopausal in the UK, this topic has remained taboo. Edwina speaks to two advocates driving change in the national conversation around menopause on their experience of this transition, and what needs to change to ensure more women have access to the support they need – including those in the justice system. Edwina's first guest is Davina McCall, renowned TV presenter and household name. As well as presenting shows such as Big Brother and The Million Pound Drop, Davina has presented documentaries exploring the Menopause. She is also the author of Menopausing, The Positive Roadmap to Your Second Spring which seeks to debunk myths, and breaks the shameful silence over the menopause. Edwina's second guest is Carolyn Harris, MP for Swansea East who established and now chairs the all-party parliamentary group (APPG) on menopause. Carolyn has played a pivotal role in putting menopause on the national agenda, and has recently published an inquiry into the impacts of Menopause on women and families as part of her work for the APPG on menopause.

"Don't try to fit into the world; make the world fit into you." This week's guest is Sarah Templeton, author of the hit book https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-NOT-Murder-your-ADHD/dp/1739958802/ (‘How NOT to Murder Your ADHD Kid – Instead Learn to be Your Child's Own ADHD Coach') released in 2021. She realised the key to stopping ADHD adolescents from becoming homeless, unemployed, on drugs and in prison was to educate the parents.  If parents could recognise their kids getting into these sorts of issues very early on and change their child's life path by pursuing an early diagnosis, medication and managing their ADHD properly from the start, the result would mean the prisons, homeless hostels and rehabs would NOT be packed to the rafters with ADHD.  Sarah is a vocal advocate for change and believes The ADHD Act is long overdue. She is on the APPG for ADHD at the Houses of Parliament and has vowed to be the voice for the tens of thousands of young offenders and adult offenders with undiagnosed ADHD – who cannot get their voices heard within the prison system. Yet without the correct ADHD diagnosis and medication, their life is destined to be one spent persistently in and out of prison. During this episode, Kate and Sarah speak about: ADHD within the prison system Harnessing ADHD to re-focus your life Why you may not recognize your amazing skills and abilities with ADHD Women coping with an ADHD diagnosis The relief after getting a diagnosis The price of ignoring our ADHD Criticism and the impact that has on us historically Leaning into our strengths and listening to the positives Making the world work for you The pressure on un-diagnosed ADHD women to cope Using your dopamine-seeking ADHD brain for good Sarah's plans for the ADHD Act in the prison system and police You can connect with Sarah via her websites http://www.sarahtempleton.org.uk (www.sarahtempleton.org.uk) and http://www.headstuffadhdtherapy.co.uk (www.headstuffadhdtherapy.co.uk).  If you enjoy the podcast, why not join Kate'shttps://www.patreon.com/adhdwomenswellbeingcollective ( ADHD Women's Wellbeing Collective,) where you get access to monthly live workshops, exclusive audio content and new resources specifically for the membership?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: List of donation opportunities (focus: non-US longtermist policy work), published by weeatquince on September 30, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Introduction In the past I have written on the EA Forum about where I am donating (2019, 2021). This year I have a dilemma. I have too many places I am excited to investigate and potentially donate too. I have a document where I have been listing opportunities I am excited by and thought why not share my list with others in the run up to the giving season. In my opinion there are a lot of EA projects lacking funding. I believe donors (especially medium-size non-US donors) who could evaluate and fund some of these would have an outsized impact, more impact than just giving to various EA Funds (in fact this post is a follow up of a red team post on the LTFF). Also I am also interested in feedback and criticism of my donation list as I plan to donate to at least some of the places listed below (to be decided). The primary focus is on longtermist/ EA policy work. By policy work I am considering organisations that directly influence current policy so it is better for the long run future (not just indirectly doing policy-adjacent academic research or supporting individuals policy careers, etc). I list a few ideas on other cause areas at the end. Note that not every org/person listed considers themselves to be EA affiliated. This list has about 25-30 funding ideas, ranging $15,000 to $4m, of which I estimate perhaps 66% are worth funding if investigated. I want to caveat this with some warnings: Expect inaccuracies: Not every org has had a chance to input. Also some details might be out of date – this list has been growing for a while now and some orgs may now have funding (or have run out of funding). Expect conflicts of interest: I have worked with and/or helped and/or am friends with the staff at and/or am an adviser/affiliate at a lot of the organisations I list. The only organisations listed that have paid me for work are the APPG for Future Generations and Charity Entrepreneurship. As a rule of thumb, assume I have some bias towards funding this kind of work. Background reasoning – why policy? Why fund policy work? Influencing policy is an effective way to drive change in the world. It is the key focus of advocacy groups and campaigns around the globe and seen as one of the most high impact ways to affect society for the better. This applies to existential risks. 80000 Hours research suggests there are two ways to protect the future from anthropogenic risks: technical work and governance/policy work (e.g. see here on AI). There are many things to advocate for that would protect the future. See here for a list of 250 longtermist policy ideas and see (mostly UK focused) collections of policy ideas on long-term institutions and biosecurity and ensuring AI regulation goes well and malevolent actors. Furthermore EA policy change work which is targeted and impact focused and carefully measured can be extremely effective. Analysis of 100s of historical policy change campaigns (look across various reports here) suggests a new EA charity spending around $1-1.5m, has a 10-50% chance driving a major policy change. And existing EA charities seem even more effective than that. The APPG for Future Generations seemed to consistently drive a policy change for every ~$50k. LEEP seems to have driven their first policy change for under ~$50k and seems on track to keep driving changes at that level. Why might policy work be underfunded? In short there is a lack of funders with the motivation and capability to fund this work. Some funders are avoiding funding policy work. The Long Term Future Fund (LTFF) does not fund any new policy work and is sceptical of policy work (see here). As far as I can tell OpenPhil's longtermist teams appear to...

Zara is a survivor of childhood sexual exploitation and abuse, trafficking and domestic violence. After experiencing twelve years of systematic sanctioned homelessness she turned her passions towards campaigning for better safeguarding, housing and equality for survivors of abuse. Zara is an advocate for women's independence, freedom and personal empowerment of choice through the means of fundamental rights to safety and exiting from persecution.On this podcast, Zara spoke to Sadia Hameed about her work which was thankfully successful: the APPG amended the Domestic Abuse Bill to include priority need for homeless survivors. On a local level, Brighton & Hove policy was changed to ensure women leaving refuge bypass temporary accommodation and go straight into settled housing. For more background, see this article &. petition about Zara's case.This audio was regretfully very delayed in publication. We hope listeners will find the conversation valuable and support Zara's future important endeavours.
