Drag queen and ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ winner, Courtney Act, Jordan Stephens from hip hop duo ’Rizzle Kicks’, and Chief Executive of the ‘Men and Boys Coalition’, Dan Bell, discuss what toxic masculinity means to them and the impact of the term itself.

Passed on as folklore, by word of mouth and tales around the camp fire, the stories have been continually adapted through history.

Just over thirty percent of UK ambassadors or Head of Mission are women – this is a three- fold increase in the last 10 years but what does the job actually involve? We speak to Judith Gough who has just finished a four year position in Ukraine and is at the start of a new position as UK Ambassador to Sweden.
