Former Scottish Conservative leader – the recently ennobled Baroness Davidson of Lundin Links - will be giving her maiden speech in the House of Lords on Friday as part of a debate on assisted dying.  She used to be against changing the law on assisted dying but had a change of heart last year.  She joins Emma to explain why.

Are you a keen knitter? Have you ever considered that patterns for knitting your jumpers, hats or gloves could be seen as having parallels to computer coding? Or that knitting could be used for data collection? Do we undervalue the scientific aspects of some female-dominated skills? Emma is joined by Shetland knitter and knitting pattern writer Hazel Tindall and Sue Montgomery, who went viral in 2019 for knitting data into a shawl.

Women Talk Back, a feminist women's society at Bristol University is filing a legal case against Bristol Students' Union after they say they were sanctioned for running women-only meetings. Raquel Rosario Sanchez is the President of the group and joins Emma.
