Kim Leadbeater, MP: My Sister's Murder and Why I Never Wanted To Go Into Politics

22. oktober 2026 · 25m

This week, we bring you one of Alastair’s favourite interviews.


He’s joined by Kim Leadbeater MP, whose sister Jo Cox was murdered in 2016, and his lifelong friend Lindsay Nicholson, who lost her husband John and nine-year-old daughter Ellie to the same rare cancer.


They discuss grief, breakdowns, anger and faith, why they disagree on assisted dying, and how to find hope when the worst has already happened.
