In this episode, we sit down with Baggy Shanker MP, Member of Parliament for Derby South.

Baggy reflects on his journey into politics, the responsibility of representing a diverse constituency, and why meaningful community engagement must sit at the heart of public service.

We explore what it means for politicians to be genuinely accessible, and the pressures facing our communities, from immigration debates to employment rights. 

It’s a wide-ranging conversation about representation, responsibility and the future of multicultural Britain.
