This is a very special episode and I was so touched by Emily explaining the situation that women and girls go through that I didn't want to miss any detail. For this reason it is a little longer than usual so I didn't add an intro to get straight into the powerful information Emily shares, especially about the White Ribbon Campaign.

This was a very interestingly timed podcast episode as Rachel and I discuss what the PM’s message to the nation would be not long after recording. I suspected a new initiative on lanyard control or new tough penalties on late library returns. 

However it turned out to be a general election! So Rachel is now, at time of publication, not an MP but hopefully will be returned to represent Luton South on the 4th July.

I was incredibly excited being invited to the House of Lords to record this interview with Iain McNicol. 

Iain shares his own personal story and experiences as a trade union officer, his career in the Labour Party as an organiser working his way to becoming the general secretary of the Party. 

He explores the ways that May called the 2017 election and how the party responded to that election. 

This is a fascinating interview but I was really intrigued by his never told previous story about how he was with Tony Blair when he got the call telling him John Smith had died. A turning point in history!

This is a brilliant episode so please review this podcast, share it with other Labour supporters and get out on the doorstep to make a difference.

I was very lucky to be invited to attend the Labour Party launch of the Keir Starmer’s First Six Steps for Change. 

In this show I highlight some of the speeches given by many of the Labour front bench as well as some comments by some good friends of the show. 

I also share why every Labour member needs to get familiar with these as we will need this on the doorstep. It’s our tast to take the message you hear here and to take that to doorsteps in our communities.

What are Starmers 6 pledges?
The Six Steps are...

• Sticking to tough spending rules to deliver economic stability 
• Setting up Great British Energy, a publicly owned clean power energy company saving us all money and providing energy security 
• Cut NHS waiting lists by providing 40,000 more appointments every week - funded by ending tax avoidance and non-dom loopholes. 
• Launching the new border security command- stopping gangs' small boat crossings
• More police officers to fight antisocial behaviour plus new penalties for offenders
• 6,500 more teachers, paid for by ending tax breaks for private schools.

At the end of this podcast I ponder the question - Is this the start of Starmerism
