Winning Ideas in the West Midlands: Worcester ft. Mike Foster

This week's episode kicks off our 'Winning Ideas in the West
Midlands' series in collaboration with the West Midlands Young
Fabians, focusing on different seats in the region which Labour
once held and how we can win these areas back in 2024.

The first episode in this series is all about Worcester, a
cathedral city and constituency in the heart of Worcestershire
which was a Labour seat from 1997 - 2010 but has since been lost
to the Tories. Nathan and Marie spoke to Mike Foster, former
Labour MP for Worcester, about his time working in
Worcester;  the reasons behind his success in the
constituency in 1997; his role in the fox hunting ban; the
importance of overseas aid; and his thoughts on how to get Labour
back to winning ways in the run-up to the next election.
