Episode notes
Siobhan Baillie
What's it like to lose your seat after one term, when your political career was really starting to flourish?
Siobhan was the MP for Stroud and had worked hard to do the job properly. But that experience was cut short in July.
As well as opening up about the emotional impact of losing the seat, Siobhan has clear ideas about what improvements she'd make to politics and the role of different politicians.
Despite the heartache of defeat, this is engrossing hour with a positive, optimistic and upbeat politician who still has lots more to achieve.
