A senior Labour MP on three of the defining crises of recent British politics.

Welcome to the Beyond the Text special series Academy to Arena. In our second episode, we dive into a compelling 'In Discussion' event I ran during my presidency of a group called Progressive Britain, featuring the Labour Party's Rt Honourable Hillary Benn MP. 

With seven years as Secretary of State and four Shadow Secretary positions, Mr. Benn shares insights on recent British political twists, especially those affecting students and citizens. This episode explores the impact of Brexit and Mr. Benn's advocacy for education during the Covid pandemic. 

Join us as we go beyond the text, bridging the gap from academy discussions to the political arena.
