'My Muslim Faith Was Raised As An Issue' Deputy Speaker speaks out | Gloria Meets

Deputy Speaker and Chairman of Ways and Means Nusrat Ghani discusses her role maintaining order in the House of Commons and what really happens during heated debates such as Prime Minister’s Questions and the Budget.

She reflects on the importance of parliamentary scrutiny, why she criticised budget leaks ahead of the Chancellor’s statement, and how debates in the chamber balance passion with accountability.

Ghani also talks about her career in politics, becoming the first ethnic minority MP elected as a Deputy Speaker, her experience serving as a minister, and the challenges faced by women and people from working-class backgrounds entering politics. The conversation also touches on abuse faced by MPs online and concerns in her constituency about proposals to house asylum seekers at a military training site in Crowborough.
