S2 E02 - Politics & the Disabled Community with Vicky Foxcroft MP
Vicky Foxcroft has been the Member of Parliament for Lewisham Deptford since 2015. Prior to her election, she served as a local councillor in the constituency and worked for a trade union for over a decade.
Vicky served as an opposition whip for almost four years before becoming Shadow Minister for Civil Society in 2019.
When Keir Starmer took over as Labour leader in April 2020, he made Vicky his Shadow Minister for Disabled People. Since then she has fought hard to ensure that disabled people’s voices are being heard throughout the COVID-19 crisis and beyond, questioning ministers in the Commons and has met with a huge range of disabled people and Disabled People’s Organisations.
