In the second part of Tim's conversation with former Taunton MP and Environment Minister Rebecca Pow, she opens up about one of the most difficult periods of her life: grieving the death of her husband, Charles Clark, while continuing to juggle the demands of Government and Parliament.
Rebecca talks candidly about balancing family, grief and public life, before turning to the environmental issues that defined much of her political career.
She explains the story behind the Environment Act, the legislation she helped steer through Parliament, and why protecting nature, promoting sustainability and tackling environmental challenges became such a central part of her work as an MP and beyond.
We also discuss getting the calls from Boris Johnson, Theresa May and Rishi Sunak to become part of their top team within the Conservative Party - and her highlights as a local MP including campaigning to restore the Wellington Monument.
A powerful conversation about leadership, resilience, politics and the environment, with a distinctly South West perspective.
