About this episode
Today, we look at the National Police Chiefs Councils report into rising violence against women and girls, with Home Office minister Jess Phillips.
The report estimates at least one in 12 women (about 2 million) in England and Wales would be victims of violence every year, and that the problem had been growing.
Adam and Jess also discuss the closing of the Bibby Stockholm barge, the Strictly Come Dancing scandal and JD Vance.
Plus, Adam and Chris are re-united to round up the political week so far.
