Lord Paul Boateng: From MP to Peer, New Labour and fixing global health inequality

Former Labour MP for Brent South and current Peer Lord Paul Boateng speaks to Tim Farron about his Christian upbringing, fleeing Ghana, how New Labour's ideas and discipline were what got them into power and why his big passion now is solving the huge disparities in access to healthcare across the world. As a lay preacher, he also explains why he thinks preaching is different to speaking in Parliament. Tim also answers a listener's question on whether MPs make better decisions on behalf of their constituents than the general public do.   Want your question answered next week?
