Never Kissed A Tory

In this previously unreleased episode, Albie interviews Stuart Andrew MP at the CPC23 in Manchester. Stuart and Albie discuss the state of gay rights in the UK right now, where they see it going, the state of conversion therapy, and more.

This week we spoke to Maria Caulfield, the MP for Lewes, the Minister for Women, and the Minister for Mental Health and Women’s Health Strategy. We spoke about HIV prevention, LGBT and women's healthcare, and what's to come for the Tories. Thank you to our special guest host, Freddie Downing, and to Kamran and Jordan for your questions!

Sir Chris Bryant told the House that he feels the most unsafe he's ever felt as a gay man, and put some of the blame at Kemi Badenoch's door, saying her 'rhetoric' was part of the problem. Is he right? Kemi didn't seem to think so.

This week, the Chairman of the Young Republicans, Rick Loughery, joins Luke and Albie, as they find out how it's possible to be both gay and a Republican in the US. They also look at how the conservative parties differ between the US and UK. The new Health Secretary announced a groundbreaking research programme to eradicate HIV in the UK, and why does Britney Spears not appear at the top of Albie's Spotify Wrapped for this year?

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.

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.

The boys are all off this week as, so take a listen to Albie and get a behind the scenes view of what really goes in to putting a party conference together, and the inside scoop on what Rishi Sunak is really like as a party leader, from President of the National Convention and Conference Chairman, Peter Smallwood.

This is quite the episode. Joe and Albie have quite a heated debate about 'free speech absolutism', and whether or not being hurt or offended can, or should, be legislated. Does calling someone the 'n-word' or a homophobic slur automatically mean that someone should be prosecuted? This comes after Labour announced that they plan to impose prison sentences for misgendering. We also discuss newly released footage of a pride flag being torn down at a pro-Palestine march and Luke asks whether or not there is a 'crisis of intersectionality?'.
