0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the political party. Today's guest is |
0:14.7 | Nadi of Wittam, the Labour MP for Nottingham East, who you may remember was elected |
0:18.9 | in 2019 at just 23 years old and was therefore known as the baby of the house and that is a moniker that we talk about whether it is helpful or not. |
0:27.0 | You be pleased to know that at the ripe old age of 27 she's already too old to be the baby of the house thanks to |
0:33.6 | Kia Mather being elected in a by election so the pressure is now off in that regard |
0:39.0 | but this was recorded on the day that Kia Starama unveiled his six, they're not called pledges, six promises, six aims, six steps, of course is the word. |
0:49.2 | So we talk about that because it's fair to say that Nadia is to the left of Kiestama, |
0:52.3 | but it is interesting to hear about her relationship with him and the direction of the Labour Party. |
0:56.7 | She's also a massive Nottingham Forest supporter, which it had to come up, so we do talk about it. |

1:13.7 | Tickets for that. I'm delighted to say to solve very fast but there are just a few left and they are |
1:17.9 | available on the link in the blurb should you wish to bite them. So enough of the self-promotion, this is Nadia it must be insane to at the age of 26 already not be 27 now. I'm so sorry you look 26. Thanks. I got away with using a |
1:49.7 | child ticket on the bus for ages until I got elected and then obviously you couldn't do that anymore. |
1:54.8 | Well the problem is it cuts both ways, doesn't it? |
1:56.6 | Because if you look young you can get into the cinema on the cheap and write buses for free, |
2:01.4 | but then you can't buy alcohol? |
2:03.0 | Yeah, I went to the cinema with my partner |
2:06.0 | and we went to watch a 15 and I got ID'd. |
2:10.0 | I mean, I don't know like 15 year olds 14 year olds whatever don't carry ID and she |
2:16.0 | didn't and she was like what do you think I am going to the cinema with a 14 year |
2:20.6 | old holding that one. |
