Author Tessa Hadley talks to Jane about her sixth book The Past, and why she finds writing about family relationships and histories so fascinating. Kate Green MP, the new shadow minister for equalities, on her new role, the commitment to women's representation in the Labour Party under the new leader, and how shadow cabinet meetings feel with 16 women in them.
