38:55Now PlayingAndrew Mountbatten-Windsor – formerly known as Prince Andrew – was arrested while Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson were recording this week's episode of the Electoral Dysfunction podcast. They were answering your questions for this half-term special episode of Electoral Dysfunction, while Beth Rigby was away on holiday.
In this breaking news episode, Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson react to the extraordinary arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of misconduct in public office, and discuss what it means for the rule of law, accountability and public trust in the United Kingdom.
But this episode is not just about Andrew.
The conversation is driven by listener questions, covering:
• The UK government’s latest U-turn on postponed local elections
• Whether Reform UK is facing proper scrutiny over its position on the Equality Act 2010
• Reform UK’s proposal to introduce a “Workplace Fairness Act” to replace the Equality Act
• Sir Keir Starmer appointing the first female cabinet Sscretary and head of the civil service
• Why misogyny in British politics remains a serious issue for women in public life
• Major Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) reforms expected next week — and why parents are worried the changes could make a broken system worse.
Responding to comments made by Harriet Harman, a Reform UK spokesperson said the party does not need “a pink bus” to attract women and defended its record on female representation. Reform UK also stated it remains committed to workplace protections against discrimination while criticising the Equality Act and what it describes as “DEI culture”.
This half-term special is packed with political analysis, listener questions, and sharp debate on the biggest UK political stories of the week.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied any wrongdoing.
