The Free Speech Debate

About this episode

After the government announced it may ditch the Conservatives' law to fight cancel culture on campuses, Ed Vaizey asks whether freedom of speech at University is under threat. He hears the cases for and against - including from former universities minister Robert Halfon, who was in government when the law was passed.


Plus: Columnists Miranda Green and Carolyn Quinn discuss Keir Starmer's spat with X owner Elon Musk, the state of our prisons, and heckling Liz Truss at Fringe.
