Corona Calamities and Climate Emergencies with guest CAROLINE LUCAS MP

<p>Britain’s COVID policy has failed women so badly that organisations from Amnesty to the Fawcett Society have called for the EHRC to intervene. Why can’t our blokey-bloke Cabinet understand that more than half the population is being hit harder by the virus – and getting less help? Plus special guest <strong>Caroline Lucas MP</strong> explains the radical, cross-party Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill. And as Samira Ahmed (possibly) takes over Mastermind, what are our panel’s specialist subjects and starters for ten?</p><p><br></p><ul><li><em>“Three million and more people have had no support since March. That’s unforgivable. And it hits women disproportionately.” – </em><strong><em>Caroline Lucas&nbsp;</em></strong></li><li>“<em>We need a lot more bolshy, aggressive, assertive policies if we’re going to get gender parity around COVID and beyond.” – </em><strong><em>Miatta Fahnbulleh</em></strong></li><li>“<em>To be fair to the Government</em>’<em>s sense of imagination, they have found imaginative ways to spread COVID” </em><strong><em>– Ahir Shah</em></strong></li><li><em>“When you have a PM who uses terms like ‘girly swot’ and ‘big girl’s blouse’, that’s not someone who’s very interested in gender equality.</em><strong><em>” – Caroline Lucas</em></strong></li></ul><p><br></p><p><em>Presented by Naomi Smith with Miatta Fahnbulleh and Ahir Shah.
