Konservatiivsete naiste saates "Elust ja poliitikast" arutlevad EKRE naispoliitikud Kadri Vilba, Helle-Moonika Helme ja Evelin Poolamets, kuidas lokkav sooideoloogia ja Reformierakonna poliitika on viinud olukorrani, kus naiste õigused, turvalisus ja väärikus on sattunud tõsise surve alla.Reformierakonna juhitud valitsus on langetanud mitmeid otsuseid, mis on eriti valusalt mõjutanud naisi ja emasid: peretoetuste kärpimine, laste pealt tulumaksuvabastuse kaotamine, tervisekindlustuse äravõtmine kodus lastega olevatelt emadelt, automaksu kehtestamine – ja mitmed muud sammud, mis näitavad sotsiaalpoliitilist ükskõiksust naiste vajaduste suhtes.Üha sagedamini näeme ka maailmas olukordi, kus mehed, kes identifitseerivad end naistena, nõuavad ligipääsu naiste spordiklassidesse, varjupaikadesse, ühiskondlikesse ruumidesse ja koguni kvootidesse, mis olid mõeldud naistele. Selline areng õõnestab bioloogiliste naiste õiglust, turvatunnet ja võrdseid võimalusi.Saates käsitleme ka hiljutist Suurbritannia ülemkohtu märgilist otsust, mis kinnitas, et naine on seaduse silmis inimene, kes on naisena sündinud. Arutame, kas Eesti peaks võtma sellest eeskuju ja kehtestama sarnase selguse ka oma õigusruumis.Lõpetuseks peatume traagilisel teemal – Pihlakodu väärkohtlemise juhtumil, kus abitus seisundis naised langesid kuritarvitamise ohvriks. Justiitsministri kommentaar, et tegu oli “ebaõnnestunud kommunikatsiooniga”, ehmatab ja solvab ühiskonna õiglustunnet. Küsimus on: kas meil on jäänud alles riik, mis suudab seista nõrgimate kaitsel – või juhib meid Reformierakonna ärieliit oma huvide järgi?

A Clare TD claims Fine Gael leadership has serious questions to answer over its handling of incidents involving Clare Senator Martin Conway. Sinn Féin has submitted a Dáil motion calling for Tánaiste Simon Harris to clarify the details of a 2020 internal investigation into the Ennistymon Senator concerning alleged inappropriate behaviour towards a female staffer. The motion also says that a substantial sum of money was donated to a charity on foot of the outcome and questions Fine Gael's decision to endorse Senator Conway in two subsequent elections. Conway, who is yet to take his seat in Seanad Éireann, resigned from Fine Gael's parliamentary party following his arrest for intoxication in Dublin last month and is now facing a disciplinary process within the party. Clare Sinn Féin TD Donna McGettigan has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that Fine Gael has the chance to put the issue to bed and prevent misinformation.

I'm pretty sure that you will not have heard an interview with Tánaiste Micheál Martin quite like this one before. The man is great craic, full of funny stories and banter – it's a side to him that we rarely get to see in the Dail and on current affairs shows, but we certainly get a taste of it in this episode. We talk about his love of impressions, and he even does a few for us! He tells me what he thinks of my Gift Grub caricature of him, he also talks about his relationship with Leo Varadkar behind the scenes, time he spent in the north trying to understand the unionist perspective, the return of Bertie and his rumoured bid for the Presidency, getting into bed with Sinn Fein, and and lots more. We actually stayed in studio chatting for over an hour and a half and so we've decided to break the conversation up into two parts, the first of which you're about to press play - and if you'd like to hear part 2 afterwards, jump back to Oct 2023 on this menu. I hope you enjoy what I think is a very different kind of interview with one of Ireland best-known politicians.
