Hilary Salt and Sebastian Moore attempt to rebuild the political by making sense of what's happening in Britain, and exploring if there is a place once more for the politically homeless.

In this episode of Take Me Home, Hilary and Sebastian are joined by sociologist Ellie Lee to discuss how parenting has changed, and what happens when ordinary family life becomes increasingly shaped by experts, policies, and professional advice.
They talk about parental authority, common sense, the medicalisation of everyday life, and whether parents are being given less responsibility for raising their own children.
