This week Rachel is joined by Tulip Siddiq, and what a whirlwind of a conversation it is. Tulip has been the Labour MP for Hampstead and Highgate, previously Hampstead and Kilburn, since 2015. Not unacquainted with scandal, she is the niece of former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, and was issued with an arrest warrant by Bangladesh as part of investigations into her aunt's premiership. Tulip tells Rachel about how hard it was to weather the storm of the press over the allegations. She also reveals how it felt when politics became personal, as she campaigned for the release of her constituent Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who was detained in Iran.
