Prisons and lidos

Jeremy discusses the early release of women prisoners, having IVF, the fight to save Jodrell Bank observatory, and lidos.

Jeremy discusses whether more women prisoners should be released early to make space in the prisons, people making assumptions about your childlessness when you are having IVF, the fight to save Jodrell Bank observatory which has lost millions of pounds in funding, and whether a lido has been your lifesaver in the heat.
