In this second conversation with Siân Berry, Green Party MP for Brighton Pavilion, Leslie Clarke turns to the issues that matter most to Scene Magazine's readership: the state of LGBTQ+ rights in the UK in 2026, and what to do about the decline.
They cover the Supreme Court ruling and its real-world impact on trans people's daily lives, the EHRC interim guidance and why Berry believes it should be withdrawn, the organised international campaign she argues is driving the rollback of rights across the world, hate crimes up more than 100 per cent in five years, and what a Green government would actually do differently.
Recorded ahead of Pride Month 2026. Part of Scene Magazine's Pride Edition.
