Summary

Jovan Owusu-Nepaul

Jovan is already a political star and he's only in his 20s.

A former Labour staffer, he tells the inside story of what it was like standing against Nigel Farage in Clacton.

You are listening to someone who has a huge part to play in shaping our country in the coming decades.
