Talking to nobody, we're talking to people who have real lives, real concerns. And that's why we love hearing from you. And do get in touch, 0344-499-1000, like Andy has. He says, it's all right, good old Rachel, lowering the prices on the attractions.

However, how much more does it cost in today's climate to drive to them is a very good point as well. Frank says, tell your silly commentator my parents couldn't afford to buy their own. So no, our parents didn't always have it better. If we stop immigrants coming in, it

might have the indigenous population's chance to buy a house. Silly woman. Sorry if I misgendered her. You haven't been misgendered. I'm not sure you're silly, but you're definitely a woman.

I think you're very happy about that, Candice. I mean, I think that the data just speaks for itself. I mean, yeah, my family also. Like, actually, no, he's absolutely wrong. Because my family came from the working classes, and they did improve their standard of living.

So no, I'm not silly. I know what I'm talking about. OK. Speaking of being a woman, trans issues are something that has come up yet again. And now we know that Bridget Phillipson, who's

not just the education secretary, which is sort of hanging out with Jemma Collins, but she is saying that trans people are still protected as single-sex-based guidance has been led. This has been coming for a very long time. It's finally here.

What do you make of it, Candice? It just feels like a regression to me. It feels like we're still having the same discussion since 2020. I thought the Supreme Court ruling had settled it, but no. Because I think, actually, for a lot of people, on the left, and particularly the Labour left,

they're very ideological about this. And they still haven't quite accepted the argument that the gender-critical feminists have been trying to make, that we need to protect female-only spaces, that biological sex is a real thing. And they just haven't been able to accept it.

So I feel like we just keep having the same discussion over, and over, and over, and over. And we keep making the same arguments. Viggo, do you feel there's a sort of Grindhog Day aspect to this? Not.

I suppose I understand the argument. But I actually think this guidance is very important. Because you can't expect all businesses to interpret the law in the same way. So therefore, they need government to explain to them how to interpret situations around trans rights,

for example. And the guidance is actually really compromising it. Both respects a trans person's right not to be discriminated against by saying they must have access to.
