Campaigning for Pat McFadden

Yesterday, we had the incredible Jess Phillips with us in Bilston as we went out campaigning for Pat McFadden in Wolverhampton South East.

Jess is such an inspiration to many young women in the world of politics. Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jess for a piece which I wrote on women in politics and the challenges that we face.

As always, Jess was brutally honest and as much as we know that she’s tough, she spoke openly about her vulnerabilities and some of the things that have hurt her.

It’s probably my favourite piece that I’ve ever wrote. You can read it here: https://www.expressandstar.com/news/voices/opinions/2019/03/22/why-politics-is-not-a-mans-world-any-more/?fbclid=IwAR0c8X5TG77Np3USZhsNExl3AfTrOiRuJcAxaXO7nUCKvQ-YGaBJ9e64rnI
