Summary

Natalie Fleet

Natalie has only been an MP since July but has already established herself as one of the most impressive members of the new intake.

She has had to overcome a lot to become an MP and talks passionately about how hard it is to succeed if you're working class in modern Britain.

This is gripping from start to finish.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the political party.
0:12.1	Today's guest is Natalie Fleet, the new Labour MP for Bolsover.
0:16.1	Dennis Skinner's old seat, we talk about that.
0:18.6	And we talk about a lot of stuff, stuff that is very personal to
0:22.5	Natalie. And Natalie is one of the most exciting new MPs of this intake. Obviously, hundreds of
0:27.7	new MPs came in in July. I'm going to try and interview all of them. I'm fascinated by them all.
0:32.8	But Natalie is someone who's already had a fair bit of media coverage as a backbencher because
