Summary
Nathaniel was propelled to the national media just over a week ago when he was Keir Starmer's warm-up act at the launch of his '6 steps'.
His speech was all the more powerful because he's dying of bowel cancer.
In this powerful interview Nathaniel tells the story of the delays to his treatment, his approach to life since his diagnosis and how he ended up warming up for Keir Starmer.
He might be sick of being called it, but he is an inspiration.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the political party. Well we've got a general election on the 4th of July. What a treat. I've put a link in the blurb just to make sure you're registered to vote. I'm sure you are if you're |
| 0:23.8 | listening to this podcast but just in case click on it register make sure you |
| 0:28.9 | don't lose your voice at this general election because it's massive and make sure if you're going to vote at |
| 0:33.7 | a polling station you know what sort of ID you need because as Boris Johnson |
| 0:37.0 | and others found out who voted for this flipping law you do need photo ID. |
| 0:41.6 | You can also get a postal vote or a proxy vote depending on your situation so just look into it and make sure you don't lose your chance to vote. |
| 0:48.0 | That's the first thing. The second thing is that between now and polling day I've set myself a challenge on this podcast. |
| 0:53.4 | I'm going to try and interview a candidate of a major party in every seat in the country. |
| 1:01.5 | 650 constituencies to be covered between now and the 4th of July. |
| 1:06.4 | This has never been done by a single interview in an election campaign before |

| 1:19.4 | the impossible maybe maybe it can be done. I'm going to try and do it. So watch this space for that. You are about |
| 1:28.8 | to have this election covered in a way that no one else is covering it so I enjoy that. |
| 1:33.0 | On to today's guest now this was recorded before the general election was |
| 1:36.5 | announced but he's someone that you may well see a lot of at labor events in the |
| 1:41.8 | coming weeks. His name's Nathaniel Die and in his own words he's |
| 1:45.5 | dying from stage 4 bowel cancer. He opened up for Kya Starmer at the launch of Labor's |
| 1:50.4 | six steps to improve Britain event just the other week. So he may well be used |
| 1:55.8 | at various hustings and events by the Labour Party during this election campaign and he talks |
| 2:01.5 | urgently and movingly about why he is supporting the Labour Party |
