Meet the MP: Jack Rankin MP

In this episode of Meet the MP, Nicola Richards sits down with Jack Rankin, the newly elected Conservative MP for Windsor. From his working-class roots in Ashton-under-Lyne to his journey through the City and into Westminster, Jack shares a candid and compelling look at modern politics from the inside.

They unpack the relentless demands of being an MP, the surprising pressures of constituency work, and the reality of rebuilding a political brand in the wake of electoral defeat. Jack reflects on the cultural shifts that are reshaping British politics, the rise of Reform, and why the Conservative Party must rethink its offer to younger generations. They also dive into policy challenges, especially around housing and intergenerational inequality, and why science and finance need a stronger voice in Parliament.
