Nurse Sandie Peggie (pictured) was cleared of gross misconduct by NHS Fife as an employment tribunal prompted by her changing room dispute with Dr Beth Upton – a transgender woman – resumed.
In the third of our weekly July episodes, Laura is joined by the BBC’s David Wallace Lockhart and the Sunday Mail’s political editor Hannah Rodger to discuss the latest twist in a story at the centre of the wider gender debate.
David and Hannah also give their take on Sir Keir Starmer’s suspension of a handful of rebel Labour MPs. And after a top golfer turned philosopher, Laura asks: ‘What’s the point?’
