The Shadow Attorney General for England and Wales, who previously was Director of Liberty, trained as a barrister.

She entered high-level politics at a relatively late stage in her career and talked candidly about why she made this change and the difficulties she has had coming to grips with it.

In a wide ranging talk at the meeting on June 21, she made it clear that she could not separate being a feminist from being a socialist and emphasised her belief that one person can make a difference.

She then spent over half an hour answering questions and discussing the current political scene.
