Show 373. Amy Callaghan

Amy has led an extraordinary life and she's still only in her 30s.

While the SNP MP for East Dunbartonshire she suffered a brain hemorrhage. As she recovered, she had to battle the arcane rules of the House of Commons in order to speak and vote on behalf of her constituents.

Having narrowly beaten Jo Swinson in 2019, Amy then lost the seat in 2024. So what's life like outside of politics? And what does the future hold for her?

This is a great chat about life and how fragile it is. And what that means for politics.
