Summary
Kim Leadbeater MBE has been a Labour MP since 2021. She is MP for Batley and Spen which is where her sister, Jo Cox, also sat until her tragic murder in June 2016. As of June 2023 she is chair of the all-party parliamentary groups on Sport and Tidy Britain, co-chair of the groups on Political Literacy and on Tackling Loneliness and Connected Communities. In 2020, she was appointed President of West Yorkshire Scouts. In 2018, Kim was awarded the UK's one thousandth Points of Light award by Prime Minister Theresa May for having "rejected the hate that marked her sister's murder to continue Jo's work and ensure that Jo's determination to change the world has lived on." In the 2021 New Year Honours, Kim was appointed MBE and The Spectator named her as 2021's "Newcomer of the Year". Kim helped found the Jo Cox Foundation.
Kim Leadbeater is guest number 399 on My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things she'd like to put in a time capsule; four she’d like to preserve and one she’d like to bury and never have to think about again .
