Political Landscapes: Henry Smith MP

Politix and Chill

Pack your thermals and your second (and third) jumper for this chilly walk round Tilgate lake with Crawley’s MP Henry Smith. Interrupted by most of England’s native wildfowl along the way, Henry tells us how his first brush with Parliament came as the winner of a back-of-the-cereal-packet competition, and how his heart sinks with every new Covid travel restriction – such is the importance of air travel to his town’s economy. Henry also opens up about the lasting impact his mum has on his politics – both inspiring his passion for animal welfare, and spurring him to campaign on beating blood cancer.
