Kate Osborne is the Labour Member of Parliament for Jarrow, a gay woman who's served her South Tyneside constituency since 2019.

In this episode of podDIVA, Kate talks to Rachel Shelley from New York where she is attending the UN's annual Commission on the Status of Women.

Kate is not only a tireless campaigner for her constituents, she also focuses much of her work on equality issues, including trans and all LGBTQIA plus rights.

In this episode we discuss

• her own intimate reflections on 'coming out' to her mother as a teen
• her pathway into politics through trade unions at the Post Office
• dealing with on-line abuse and incendiary language in politics
