The fourth in our interview series is a discussion with Baroness Margaret Curran led again by co-host Seb Illing. Curran was involved in politics from a young age, as a member of Scottish Labour Students and the Glasgow University Labour club, and her tenure in politics is a great topic of discussion in this episode, as is her background, and how it informed her drive for justice and self-described role as an activist. The Baroness is unique among this group of interviewees given her work in the second chamber, which she details for our Backbench listeners.
