About this episode
Oliver Coppard
Oliver has been the Labour Mayor for South Yorkshire since 2022. It's an area at the centre of many of our biggest political discussions.
Health is his big priority, but does he have the powers he needs to create real change and how would he measure it?
This is an entertaining, engaging hour with a young politician whose Jewish heritage has meant he's not always had the easiest relationship with his own party.
He's led a fascinating life... but what are the experiences that were formative in his politics?
