Jacqui Smith, the former Home Secretary of the UK talks through how she got into that role, her political ambitions, whether she'd make a better politician now than when she was actually in power and whether we dismiss politicians too quickly when they've reached a certain age.

Jacqui was only the 3rd women to reach one of the 3 most important UK offices of state when she became Home Secretary and we discuss the treatment of female politicians compared to their male counterparts.

Also, a big plug for scented candles :)
