12. Patrick Hurley MP - Representing Southport in the midst of a national tragedy

Patrick Hurley was elected to represent Southport in 2024 - The first Labour candidate to win in the coastal town. His eleation quickly turned to tragedy as just weeks into his new role, he received a phone call to tell him about an attack at a Taylor Swift Dance Class that left three girls murdered and many more injured. Patrick discusses the attack, the wave of misinformation that followed it and the national unrest seen in towns across the country. He talks, through his socialist lense, about the need to address poverty in town's such as Southport and others that feel victim to disorder in the wake of the attack, factors he feels laid the foundations for the riots we saw. He also discusses how seaside towns such as his adjust to a change in tourism habits and declining shopping trends to ensure that investment continues to flow through and provide jobs and quality of life to those who live there. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Portada del episodio 10. Calvin Bailey MBE - I carried a knife after the murder of Stephen Lawrence

10. Calvin Bailey MBE - I carried a knife after the murder of Stephen Lawrence

Calvin Bailey MBE is the Labour Member of Parliament for Leyton and Wanstead, first elected in July 2024. Born in Zambia and raised in London, he served 24 years in the Royal Air Force, reaching the rank of Wing Commander and received an MBE for distinguished service. His mixed heritage meant that racism was prevalent in his formative years and he discusses the effect of seeing his Mum confront far-right thugs and the impact of the death of Steven Lawrence. Despite the racism of his early year, Bailey stands as the embodiment of what hard work and dedication to serving others can achieve, representing his constituency as its first black MP. Like his Mother, Bailey is unafraid to call out the racism that has become increasingly common in modern day politics. Bailey sits on the Defence Select Committee and chairs the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Armed Forces community. He is forthright in his belief that the public need to grasp the enormity of the security challenges faced by the country and the requirement for politicians to properly communicate the threat, which in his mind, includes Russia committing acts of “grey zone” warfare on the streets of Britain today. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
