About this episode
The government has announced new plans to tackle extremism, with 'extreme misogyny' now falling into that category. So is Yvette Cooper right to act - or is this another misplaced government initiative which won’t solve the problems the UK faces? And will it end up curtailing our freedom of speech?
Kamal and Tim Stanley speak to Ella Whelan, author and commentator, who doesn't think misogyny needs to be treated with such severity.
Plus, The Daily T has been to speak to Steve Darling, the newly elected Liberal Democrat MP for Torbay who is registered blind, to find out how easy it is to get around the parliamentary estate with his guide dog Jennie.
And the funniest joke of the Edinburgh Fringe has been revealed - but how funny is it?
