We cover:

- 💥 How a former Weinstein assistant helped kickstart a global movement
- 🧑⚖️ What this change means for UK employment law and workplace culture
- 🗣️ Louise’s reflections on being more effective outside government
- 🛠️ What’s next: retrospective reform, implementation risks, and holding firms accountable
