Jess Phillips MP has always been a prolific letter writer and knows more than most the power of putting words to paper.&nbsp; In the middle of a pandemic that was claiming the lives of so many of her constituents and their loved ones, Jess was inspired to write her husband and children a letter telling them how much she loved them. So in Yours Sincerely, Jess is giving her guests a chance to celebrate three people that mean the world to them. Someone they love…&nbsp;someone who’s no longer around … and someone who doesn’t realise how significant a role they’ve played in their lives. And when we’ve heard more about each person, they’ll reveal how they would sign off each letter. <hr> Hosted on Acast.
