Labour's Naz Shah on her 'phenomenal journey’ to Westminster
From a forced marriage to a mum in prison, Labour's Naz Shah says she has had a "phenomenal journey" to Westminster.
Shah, the MP for Bradford West, said before politics she looked after her siblings while her mother was imprisoned for murder.
"I was 18 years old - mum got locked up, I had two siblings an 11 year old and a 13 year old - safe to say our lives were turned upside down,” said Shah.
"Two children, 18 and didn’t know much of the world. I used to work in Seabrooks packing crisps, just before that I worked in a launderette. I wasn’t who I am today that’s for sure,” she added.
