R2Kast 188 - Neil Parish on farming, parliament, politics and Robert Mugabe

Coos, House of Commons and a fight with Robert Mugabe 

Today we welcome one of those episodes I have less than no idea about someone’s sector!

Neil Parish, who at heart is a farmer who grew tired of his father complaining about policy and taking little action.  So he did. 

After about 15 years in council Neil had a shot at contesting Torfaen, a safe labour seat which he lost by 24.5k votes…after that things started to go in his favour working his way up to European Parliament! 

I’d try explain the journey but feel Neil will go a better job than me so just listen in!

A great chat with a man, who at 67 is still keen for another craic at the whip (not a political pun) of policy still!

Enjoy!
