A Backbench Interview Series: Chris Murray MP

These episodes comprise an exciting collection of interviews with prominent voices across Scottish and UK politics, featuring some deep-dive analysis from our very own hosts

The first episode is a live interview by Backbench co-host Seb Illing, with Chris Murray, MP for Edinburgh East and Musselburgh - the constituency our university sits in - conducted at Old College. Murray discusses how his upbringing shaped his career, balancing working in the House of Commons and in constituency, and what it’s like to be a Backbench MP (our first on the podcast - very fitting). Murray provides a unique perspective having worked across multiple sectors before standing for office, and explains how he was inspired to pursue legislative change himself.
