Hey Iain Dale listeners, here’s a brand new podcast we think you’d like, called The Followers. Shelagh Fogarty began her LBC career as a guest presenter in 2014, and her balanced and calm presenting style soon earned her a permanent role. Heartbreakingly, it was this calm approach which led to the most harrowing ordeal of Shelagh's life, when a man stalked her for nearly 2 years. In 2017, Shelagh began to notice the same face appearing in crowds, on the tube, outside her work. She dismissed it at first, but then the appearances became more and more frequent and noticeable - he was there when she met friends, when she travelled across London, at her local train station, and even when he followed her home.??The Followers is a 5-part LBC podcast series where Shelagh talks about the disturbing stages she went through during her stalking: dismissing it, fearing it, and feeling powerless as she was forced to live a limited life. The podcast also included conversations with experts and victims, looking at how societal views, misogyny and popular media tropes may be enabling stalkers to commit crimes without intervention.? Shelagh wanted to tell her story and to speak with various experts to understand more about obsessive and controlling behaviour, to deal with what happened to her on a personal level and to help others identify the behaviour that can lead to stalking. All 5 episodes will be available from July 4th exclusively on Global Player. Download it now from the App store or go to https://www.globalplayer.com If you think you or someone you know is being stalked, please call the police or the National stalking helpline on 0808 802 0300

LBC Newshour | Vaccine Passports: It would be "remiss" of the government not to consider Covid certification as a way of fully reopening the economy, Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi says. How do vaccine passports sound for you? | Interview & Phone-in with Hella Pick
Doreen Lawrence, who campaigned for 18 years for justice after her son Stephen was murdered by racists, has said a government-commissioned report that claimed the UK no longer had a system rigged against minorities could allow racism to flourish. “My son was murdered because of racism and you cannot forget that. Once you start covering it up it is giving the green light to racists. You imagine what’s going to happen come tomorrow. What’s going to happen on our streets with our young people? You are giving racists the green light,” Lady Lawrence said. Does the race report allow racists to flourish, and give them the green light? How significant are Doreen Lawrence's comments?
The UK "no longer" has a system rigged against people from ethnic minorities, a review set up by No 10 says. The Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities said family structure and social class had a bigger impact than race on how people's lives turned out. It said children from ethnic communities did as well or better than white pupils, but overt racism remained, particularly online. The commission was set up after Black Lives Matter anti-racism protests across the country last summer - triggered by the killing of George Floyd in the US. Are you surprised by the findings? Do you believe the UK is not deliberately rigged against ethnic minorities?
Sir Lenny Henry has written an open letter urging black Britons to take the Covid-19 vaccine. The comedian and actor said people should "trust the facts" and guard against misinformation. The letter has been signed by high-profile figures such as actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, YouTube star KSI and actress Thandie Newton. Vaccination rates among black Britons are considerably lower than among white Britons. What more needs to be done to encourage black Britons to take the vaccine? What is the problem here and how can we resolve it?
Nicola Sturgeon accused Alex Salmond of putting self-interest ahead of the country’s best interests as she placed independence at the heart of her Holyrood election campaign. In an online speech to the SNP’s campaign conference, the Scottish first minister refused to say her predecessor’s name but made a thinly veiled reference to his new breakaway party, Alba. What do you think about the launch of Alex Salmond's Alba Party? How problematic do you think this will be for Sturgeon? Landmarks and buildings around the UK have been lit up in red and green to mark 50 years of Bangladesh’s independence. Locations like the London Eye, Millennium Bridge in Newcastle and Cardiff Castle have brandished the colours of the Bangladeshi flag to mark half a century since the south Asian country broke away from Pakistan. What does it mean to be Bangladeshi in Britain today?
It may only be possible to introduce a vaccine passports scheme once all adults have been offered a jab, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has suggested. He said no decisions had been made but there would be an update on the idea in April. Are they fair for the hospitality industy and for young people?
The home secretary has set out what she has called a "fair but firm" overhaul to the way people applying for asylum in the UK are treated. Priti Patel said for the first time, people seeking protection as refugees would have their claim assessed based on how they arrive in the UK. Do you think this overhaul is "fair but firm"? Do the Home Secretary's plans add up?
Keir Starmer has this morning argued that “we owe both the NHS staff on the frontline and all the families of those who have died to learn the lessons” of the Covid pandemic and to hold an inquiry into the handling of the health crisis. How confident are you the government has learnt its lessons and do you support those calling for an inquiry? The UK is marking one year since the first coronavirus lockdown, with the Queen reflecting on the "grief and loss felt by so many". A national minute's silence was held at midday, which parliaments across the UK paused business to observe. How do you reflect on the last year?
The size of the Army is to be reduced to 72,500 soldiers by 2025 as part of a move towards drones and cyber warfare. Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said "increased deployability and technological advantage" meant greater effect could be delivered by fewer people. The review marked a shift from "mass mobilisation to information age speed". Is cutting our troops the right thing to do? Nicola Sturgeon has been cleared of breaching the ministerial code over her involvement in the Alex Salmond saga. An independent inquiry by senior Irish lawyer James Hamilton had been examining whether the first minister misled the Scottish Parliament over what she knew and when. Does Nicola Sturgeon deserve the benefit of the doubt and will this help or hinder the independence cause?
British nationality laws are to be reformed to remove a number of anomalies that have recently led to people from the Windrush generation being refused citizenship – despite the Home Office admitting that its own errors led to them being ruled ineligible. The Home Office is considering plans to send asylum seekers who arrive in the UK overseas to be processed, an idea modelled on a controversial Australian system, it is understood. Do we as a country WANT to learn the lessons of Windrush?
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, has said that if Covid vaccine supplies in Europe do not improve, the EU "will reflect whether exports to countries who have higher vaccination rates than us are still proportionate". Post-Brexit disagreements between the EU and the UK have been heightened by the diplomatic row over the export of the vaccines. Is this the kind of behaviour you expect from the EU?
The UK is set to reverse plans to reduce its stockpile of nuclear weapons by the middle of the decade, as part of a foreign policy overhaul. The cap on the number of warheads will now increase to 260, having been due to drop to 180 under previous plans from 2010. Is increasing nuclear weapons and cutting international development spending what you want from Global Britain? The EU's medicines regulator has said it remains "firmly convinced" that the benefits of the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 jab outweigh the risks. It reiterated that there was "no indication" the vaccine causes blood clots, after several leading EU states paused their rollouts. What's really causing this reaction and how is it affecting vaccine confidence?
Women must feel their complaints about violence are "properly heard", the PM has said, after concern about how a vigil for Sarah Everard was policed. Boris Johnson said footage of officers forcibly removing a number of women from the event was "distressing". He added it was "fundamental" that women felt listened to and he was "going to make sure that happens". Priti Patel and Boris Johnson say they're listening to women - do you feel listened to? Policing of the Sarah Everard vigil has increased interest in plans to give officers more precise powers to restrict demonstrations.The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill is a mammoth piece of legislation that includes major government proposals on crime and justice. It's being debated by MPs this week. One part of it covers changes to protests. How should protests be policed and what is the future of this?
Vigils highlighting women's safety on the streets are being organised following the disappearance of Sarah Everard in south London. Reclaim These Streets events are planned across the UK on Saturday, and in Clapham, where she was last seen. Organisers said it was "wrong that the response to violence against women requires women to behave differently".
