In the second episode in our Winning Ideas in the West Midlands series, we are joined by none other than former Home Secretary,  Labour MP for Redditch from 1997-2010, and co-host of 'For The Many' podcast: the Right Honorable Jacqui Smith!

Nathan and Marie, from the Young Fabians West Midlands network, spoke to Jacqui all about her former constituency; her experience running as a Labour candidate in 1992 and successfully winning in Redditch in 1997; Labour in government; New Labour's education policies and their impact; being tough on the causes of crime; and her advice for the Labour leadership on the road to 2024!
