Summary
After a pretty stressful few weeks in politics across the world, today’s Cellar episode takes us back to a delightful conversation with a stalwart of modern British politics: David Lammy MP!
Kate sat down to speak with him in 2020 — before his meteoric rise to Foreign Secretary — where he talked about his long and storied career in British politics, from running his constituency for 25 years to his passion for fighting justice. Oh, and the small matter of being friends with Barack Obama. Quite the person to have in your contacts book!
