In our latest podcast episode, we were thrilled to invite our listeners to join us in a conversation with the charismatic MP of Chichester, Gillian Keegan. A prominent figure in UK politics, Keegan has an intriguing story to share, navigating her way from the world of business into the sphere of politics. His story provides a unique perspective on the trials and triumphs of a career shift that many could only dream of making.
We began our conversation by delving into Keegan's personal journey, which saw her transition from various businesses into the House of Commons. Keegan spoke candidly about her first walk into the House of Commons, describing it as awe-inspiring and overwhelming due to its historical significance.
A key focus of our discussion was the pressing issue of green jobs and infrastructure challenges. In light of the UK's ambitious net zero targets, Keegan offered her insights into the changing job market. She highlighted the need for better planning and funding to support both housing and infrastructure needs, emphasising the importance of preparing for a future that will inevitably look different from today's landscape.
Another major topic we tackled was the government's handling of the pandemic. We discussed the difficult decisions faced by the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, such as procuring PPE and managing the economy amidst a global health crisis. Despite the economic impact of the pandemic, Keegan highlighted the progress made in testing and vaccine distribution.
On a more personal note, we delved into the issue of autism support and workplace discrimination. As a champion for inclusive environments and tailored job assessments, Keegan shared her thoughts on the need for change in how job assessments are conducted to better accommodate individuals with different strengths and abilities.
As we moved towards the end of our conversation, we touched on the impact of climate change and on peace and security. Keegan stressed our shared role in tackling these global crises, underscoring the importance of innovation in addressing these challenges. She also shared her passion for providing opportunities for young people through education and skills training.
Finally, we lightened the mood with a chat about celebrity connections and the art of name-dropping. While this may seem far removed from the serious topics discussed earlier, it served as a reminder that our political leaders are human beings with their own quirks and interests.
This podcast episode offered a fresh perspective on politics and social issues, enriched by Keegan's personal experiences and insights. From his journey from business to politics, to his thoughts on green jobs, the pandemic, and autism support, Keegan offered a wealth of knowledge and thought-provoking discussions that kept us engaged from start to finish.
