This week’s episode takes us to Exeter Quay, where the French women’s rugby team joined local clubs for a family day of celebrations ahead of the Women’s Rugby World Cup.

Exeter Chiefs chairman and CEO Tony Rowe shares his thoughts on the tournament and how it’s helping to bring communities together, while a new Reform UK councillor reflects on their first 100 days in office.

We also hear from campaigners in East Devon, where Devon for Europe is out on the streets making the case for the UK to rejoin the EU.

Josh Tate hosts this weeks edition.
