Deskripsi

As Boris Johnson prepares to step down we hear from Nusrat Ghani the Conservative MP for Wealden and vice-chair of The 1922 committee that represents backbench conservative MPs. Dubbed "the men in grey suits", the members of the 1922 Committee wield a lot of power in the Conservative Party and runs the selection process for new leaders. More than 85,000 refugees have arrived in the UK so far under the Ukraine Family and Sponsorship Schemes and we’ve heard many heart warming stories about mothers and their children integrating into communities up and down the country. But it’s not always straightforward, with some families and hosts coming up against cultural and linguistic barriers. We hear how Anastasia Skelton, a Ukrainian living in the UK who is currently volunteering as a coordinator in Canterbury, helping to match refugees with host families, and Kate Daniels, a family therapist, are working to ease the situation. And we hear how a cricket club in Sussex is changing its rules when it comes to white kit for women players as it can be tricky for them to wear when they’re on their period. Lewes Priory Cricket Club is allowing its young players to wear black. Will it catch on? We talk to Charlotte Burton, the Women and Girls Development Officer at Sussex Cricket, and Isabelle Duncan, the cricket historian, commentator and author of 'Skirting the Boundary'. Presenter: Emma Barnett Producer: Lisa Jenkinson Studio Manager: Emma Harth
