Life as an MP with Josh MacAlister 

In this episode, we’re joined by Labour MP Josh MacAlister.

After years working behind the scenes on national issues in social care, Josh has made the leap into frontline politics. We talk about why he decided to run for Parliament, what it’s really like starting out as an MP, and some of the lesser-known quirks of how things actually work inside Westminster.

Josh also shares his thoughts on one of the boldest ideas he’s put forward so far — banning smartphones for under-16s — and why he thinks now’s the time to start a serious conversation about it. Whether you’re politically curious or just wondering what it takes to step into something completely new, this one’s a proper behind-the-scenes look at a big career shift in real time.
