Kim Leadbeater talks to Jennifer Nadel

The Case for Compassion

Venue: St Mary’s Church

MP Kim Leadbeater knows all too well how the world of politics can be rife with tension, disagreement and even violence. But she also knows better than anyone that politics is a place that demands compassion, and that all sides can operate with respect and care.

Leadbeater, who became MP for Batley and Spen a few years after her sister Jo Cox was murdered, is behind assisted dying legislation which passed the House of Commons last year.

A year on from that landmark achievement, Leadbeater talks to broadcaster and founder of the ThinkTank Compassion in Politics, Jennifer Nadel, about the state of British politics today, how laws can solve some of the difficult problems society faces, and what we can do to combat the divisive discourse the UK is currently seeing.
