Episode Details

Minister Kemi Badenoch wants to scrap the public sector equality duty, claiming it fosters division and absurd policies—like the Bank of England considering wildlife for banknotes. But legal experts argue the duty simply requires public bodies to consider impact on different groups, not dictate actions, and warn its removal could weaken protections for women, minorities, and disabled people, risking discrimination and legal uncertainty. The debate pits those who see the duty as essential for proactive equality against those who view it as bureaucratic excess—potentially reshaping how public services tackle discrimination for years to come.
