Description

Westminster is restless, and the team are digging into why. Beth, Ruth and Harriet discuss the growing unease inside Labour, as somebody new joins the cabinet table. 

We also go over the damning findings of Baroness Amos's interim report into maternity care in England, featuring deeply personal accounts from women affected by systemic failings, including former Conservative MP Theo Clarke, who now hosts the podcast Breaking The Taboo. 

If you've been affected by issues in this episode, you can reach out to the Birth Trauma Association or MASIC. 

We discuss stillbirth as part of this. The charity Sands also offers help and advice. 

You can WhatsApp the podcast at 07934 200 444 or email [email protected]. 

And if you didn't know, you can also watch Beth, Harriet and Ruth on YouTube.
