Let’s have a look at who Laura’s guests are this week.
James Cleverly was
made foreign secretary this time last year when Liz Truss vacated the role as
she became prime minister. He was previously, albeit briefly, education
secretary but was a minister in the Foreign Office, with responsibility for
Europe and North America, when Russia invaded Ukraine in February. Cleverly
served in the army, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Labour’s Pat McFadden recently
got a new job as the party’s shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and
national campaign co-ordinator. McFadden has served as member of parliament for
Wolverhampton South East since 2005, and was also shadow chief secretary to the
treasury before being moved in the recent shadow cabinet reshuffle.
Turning to the issue of the Online Safety Bill, Ian Russell will be in the studio. His
daughter Molly Russell ended her life in 2017 aged just 14 after viewing
suicide and self-harm content online. Last year a coroner ruled images of
self-harm and suicide she viewed “shouldn’t have been available for a
child to see”. Ian has long campaigned for better protection online from
social media platforms.
