Matt Forde's Political Party

Show 331. Siobhain McDonagh

This is a ray of sunshine for the ears. Siobhain isn't just positive, she is inspiringly pragmatic. 

 

A Labour MP since 1 May 1997 and a passionate Blairite, she stayed in the party during its darkest period and is now hopeful of a Labour victory at the next election. 

 

This is about more than politics. It's about life and what it's about. 

 

Siobhain's sister, Margaret, was the General Secretary of the party during its most successful period and is revered across politics. She sadly passed away last year. As well as raising awareness about brain cancer, Siobhain is also raising money for the UCLH Charity.
