It's been a while, but editor-in-chief of She Speaks We Hear Sharmeen Ziauddin is back with a special episode with MP Naz Shah, who is celebrating 10 years of being a member of parliament. Yes, that's right. Labour MP Naz Shah has been elected four times for Bradford West but resigned from her shadow ministerial position in November 2023 over her views on Gaza.
In this episode, recorded 7th May 2025, Naz begins by reflecting on her 10-year political career - shares her incredible origin story, which is full of tragedy and resilience. Sharmeen and Naz discuss all the issues of the day, including racism, Islamophobia, and the threat of the far-right. Should British Muslims start packing their bags? Is politics a safe place for women of colour, and what is the British government doing to stop Israel from bombing Gaza?
Listen to all this and more!
If you want to know more about Naz Shah look out for her book, which will be coming out in 2026.
