Samira Ahmed was joined by David Lammy MP in this exclusive live recording of our award-winning How I Found My Voice podcast

David Lammy, Labour MP for Tottenham and Shadow Secretary of State for Justice, is one of the UK’s most formidable political campaigners and a tireless voice on behalf of those he believes have been failed by the system – from the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire to people caught up in the Windrush scandal. He is the first black MP to hold the Justice post, either in government or opposition. He joined Samira Ahmed in this exclusive live recording of the award-winning How I Found My Voice podcast. Other guests in this podcast series include Margaret Atwood, Michael Palin, Richard Branson and Rose McGowan.
