Uncovered: Jacqui Smith, Strictly Come Dancing Star!

https://media.acast.com/progressivebritain/uncovered-jacquismith-strictlycomedancingstar-/media.mp3

 

As the first female Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith draws on her experience to tell us her thoughts on how the government has handled the crisis and where the home office seems to be moving on immigration. We also discuss her role as Deputy Minister for Women and Equalities and her current position on the Labour Women’s Network, before moving on to the more important topic of Strictly Come Dancing!
