Can the government crack down on men to tackle violence against women and girls (VAWG)? Sir Keir Starmer pledged to halve the crime in his manifesto at the 2024 election – and the government's strategy is finally being released after a number of delays. Home Office Minister Jess Phillips tells Beth Rigby how she’s focusing on preventing the crimes and why her approach is a shift from the previous government’s policies. She also explains why it’s taken Labour 18 months to reveal their plan, which includes undercover police officers going online to tackle misogyny. So will they hit their target of halving VAWG? And why is it deeply personal for Phillips? Later, Beth asks about Phillips’ relationship with Elon Musk, who called her a "rape genocide apologist" earlier in the year. And also whether Phillips considered giving up her government job when victims of grooming gangs called for her resignation?
