Launch the gunboats, the French are reeling in our fish!

Join Mandy Rhodes, editor of Holyrood Magazine, and Liam Kirkaldy, award-winning political journalist, as they review the week that was in Scottish Politics... What is on the menu for this week's episode of Politically Speaking? Good week for Boris... got you there... of course it isn't! Bad week for swimmers on the English Channel as Naval vessels seek to block their paths This week's interview is with SNP MP Amy Callaghan. But this interview goes beyond the politics, as Mandy and Amy discuss what makes her who she is, and how did she get there. A recent not so controversial Bill with the aim to  ensure women are given the right to be examined by a female physician following a rape has caused an unlikely debate when the word 'gender' was replaced with 'sex' to ensure no legal hiccups later down the line... Mandy and Jenni discuss the issues behind this and much more in this weeks rant. **You can read the latest version of Holyrood Magazine** Remember to Follow and Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.
