When five of the six men currently competing to become the UK’s next prime minister gathered for a televised debate at the weekend, I got a little tetchy at Dominic Raab. Asked to respond to criticism of comments he made in 2011 that feminists were “obnoxious bigots”, he said he’s actually the candidate that cares most about women – because he wants better services for them while they’re giving birth.

I did just double check that I wasn’t watching the Handmaid’s Tale by mistake. But no, it was definitely the Conservative Party debate.

I’ve got some incredible news for Raab. Women voters care about other things than just the last few moments before they give birth. For the significant portions of their lives not spent in labour, they care about taxation levels, public spending, the NHS – all kinds of things that human people care about, really.

Raab isn’t the only one to overlook a sizeable chunk of the electorate when trying to win support. It also looks like Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party is proving more popular among male voters than female. That’s a big problem for a party hoping to make it into Westminster.

So what do women voters want? It’s not such a mystery. Rosie Campbell has been looking at the data from some extensive polling. It’s essential reading for Farage, Raab – and all of us.

If you’ve never seen a naked mole-rat you’re in for a surprise. By any measure, these bizarre creatures don’t score on looks but they are biologically extraordinary. For one thing they’re immune to cancer, which makes them incredibly useful to scientists developing treatments.
