Louise Haigh on NDAs, Labour's First Year, and What's Next

In this episode, Labour MP Louise Haigh joins Kirsty Buchanan, Jo Tanner, and Calum Macdonald to unpack her recent legislative victory: a groundbreaking new ban on non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) used to silence victims and witnesses of workplace harassment and discrimination.

We cover:

• 🔒 Why NDAs are no longer enforceable in harassment or discrimination cases
• 💥 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

Louise also reflects on the first year of Labour in power—praising key reforms but warning of a missing "thread" tying decisions together.
