Speeches by Brewer.

“Okay. My follow-up is about some criticism of the show. There have been suggestions that the show may wrongly portray incels to be violent, whereas in practice incel violence is rare. That is how the criticism goes. Is that a criticism you accept?”

“Daniel, what do you think of the use of the term toxic masculinity? It is frequently used. I use it; we all use it.”

“So actually, the criticism that you have been getting is a symptom of the very problem that the show is highlighting.”

“Darren, I am looking at the role of men and masculinity in society, so I am trying to draw some threads together here. One of them is just coming back to the schools point about misogyny from male pupils towards female staff. I used to work in the domestic abuse sector, and we saw a vast increase in what was termed chi…”

“I am leaping around a bit but, like I said, I am trying to draw these threads together. Matt, we have talked today about this huge increase in focus on body image and what that means for young boys and men. Focus on body image is something that women have experienced for decades and to considerable health disadvantage …”

“I have one more question. Daniel, I would like to get your thoughts on this, and again, it is a slight leap. I recently had the great fortune to visit Tokyo, and something was thrown into sharp relief in a way that it has not been in other cities. We went to the area of the city that is all about gaming and tech, and t…”

“Not at all. No, it was just a micro example.”

“Is it becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy?”

“I thank my hon. Friend for her intervention. Health and wealth are two sides of the same coin and we need to invest in both, which is why the delays are a false economy. Maintaining Basingstoke and North Hampshire hospital for the next 15 years will cost almost as much as the rebuild, making it a false economy and a ca…”

“My constituents are predominantly served by two hospitals: Frimley Park to the east and Basingstoke and North Hampshire to the west. Some 65% of Frimley Park is RAAC concrete, known to be highly unstable, so it is right that it is included in phase 1 of the new hospital programme and prioritised as urgently needing a c…”

“Mr Copson, what role does religious education or PHSE in the UK currently play in community cohesion, specifically the curriculum rather than faith schools? What changes, if any, would you make to the curriculum to promote community cohesion?”

“Thank you. Dr Dhaliwal, you have mentioned faith schools. What role do schools, including faith schools, in the UK play in community cohesion? Pretty broad.”

“Thank you; that is fascinating. I have one more question, which I would like to direct to Professor Cantle. What risks do illegal schools pose to community cohesion, and have the Government done enough to tackle this issue?”

“Thank you very much. I have one quick follow-up, if I may, Professor Cantle, about religious education in schools and the curriculum. When I was at school—more years ago than I care to think about at the moment—it was very much the case that the curriculum was centred around Christianity. That was your religious educat…”

“Debbie, coming back to you, if that is okay, those are some depressing statistics.”

“That ties in really nicely with my question, which I want to direct to Professor Stephan, if I may. Is there any cultural issue here where women are encouraged to do good and men are encouraged to do well and actually we should all be doing both those things if we can?”

“I think that answers my next question: why are so few fast-growth businesses female-led? You think it is in investment.”

“Thank you. Debbie, I would like to start with you if that is all right, and then we will move into the room. Could you briefly set out what you see as the key trends in female-led entrepreneurship?”

“Jill, do you have anything to add?”

“I open this up to anyone who wants to answer, but why do you think the proportion of businesses and fast-growth businesses that are female-led reduced from 2023 to 2024? Do you have any reasons why that might be the case?”
