Much needed indeed. I'm looking forward to it. Joining us now is Nadia Whittam, Labour MP for Nottingham East since 2019. She's been outspoken on the cost of living, the climate crisis, care work and LGBTQ plus rights.
I have to give you my tip, right? So basically, if you're in a situation and you're talking to an MP and you don't know their name, you go, so sorry, what's your name again? And then they'll say, I'm Roger Moore. It's not Roger Moore.
It was the only thing that came to my mind.
And so then they say, oh, I'm Roger Moore. And you go, oh, Roger. I mean, of course I knew you were Roger. It was the last name. It was the last name. And then you, you know, you finesse it. Anyway, you can have that for free.
You'd call him Matt. You'd say John. You'd just guess.
Oh, apparently we've had a note from the producer. There's a Robbie Moore, the Conservative MP for Keeley and Ilkley. Then maybe you're thinking of him. Who's that and where's that?
Yes. You tell him.
I'll be dead. Will I be dead?
I can assure you Nadia, if I'm spending £1,000 a day, I'm dead in a week. Trust me on that.
I mean, listening to you now, Nadia, it sounds like there's hopeful things, low-hanging fruit that can be won, things can be changed. That sounds great because I'll be honest, sitting here outside of the party, we're coming up to 100 days of this new government. It feels like the notes are quite doomy, a bit sort of expect the worst, things aren't going to get better.
Is that how it feels inside the camp?
You mentioned the far-right riots there, and there were many different things that happened to cause this hellish month of intimidation on the streets. But one thing that was part of it was disinformation on social media. Now, you are one of the most popular politicians on social media. I can imagine that is extremely challenging.
Do you think this reflects where politics should be, that we should have politicians... engaging with social media properly in order to curb the more malignant forces that we see coming through.
Are they all called John?
That's the other one.
I mean, reform are massive on TikTok. Genuinely massive. It's quite chilling. Yeah. Is it the new frontier?
I'm really glad to hear you say that because it's been a big bugbear of mine is this idea that the working class are more racist. That really winds me up. You know, even if you just, just by the crudest measure of like mixed families, you tend to see them more in working class communities. So working class communities are more diverse.
I find it, I think you're absolutely right that like it can, sometimes we can't solve these issues because we wrap it all up in snooty class politics and it's really unfair and it doesn't solve anything and doesn't make anything better. Yeah.
Well, that's a beautiful place to leave it. Thank you so much, Nadia. I'm sorry you're not having a good time, but listen, work is never fun and you're doing the work. So thank you for that.
Thank you for joining us on Podsafe UK.
