Famous By-Elections: Trudy Harrison and Copeland 2017
In this episode, Matt Davis sits down with Trudy Harrison, who won the Copeland by-election in 2017, overturning decades of Labour dominance in the constituency. Trudy reflects on the dramatic campaign that brought her into Parliament, the issues that defined the contest, and what it was like to step into national politics through such a high-profile victory.
From the pressures of campaigning to the significance of the result for the Conservative Party, this conversation offers a unique insight into one of the most remarkable by-elections in recent political history.
