Tracy Brabin

Back in the day when she was best known as Tricia Armstrong in
Coronation Street, Tracy Brabin did not shy away from national
politics, appearing in Labour campaigns and using her stardom to
generate interest in the political project. But it was the tragedy
and brutal murder of her friend Jo Cox in Tracy's hometown which
catapulted her into the Commons. Now the first Mayor of West
Yorkshire, she speaks to James about her life and the shocking
events in the aftermath of Jo's death.
