Getting into politics almost by mistake isn't an admission you'd expect to hear from many politicians - but Christian Wakeford is no ordinary MP.
As part of the influx of new Conservative Members of Parliament resulting from the 2019 General Election, Christian took over a seat that had been mired in great local challenges - if not downright controversy.
A vocal and passionate supporter of The Fed, we have been fortunate in the intervening years to have found in Christian a true friend and ally, someone who deserves the moniker 'Human of The Fed.'
Discussing his rise in the Tory party, his views on the challenges the Jewish community has faced in the recent past, the Corbyn years, and the universal impact of Covid-19, Christian also talks frankly and honestly about the allegations and rumours that have circled around the government for the last few months.
Whatever the future holds, we are lucky to have a local MP like Christian, and we were delighted he joined us for an episode of 'Humans'.
