Скачать или смотреть The cost of speaking out: Jess Phillips on 'Let's be honest' (Part 4)

"If you want people to trust you, you have to trust them with the truth."

In this fourth installment, Labour MP Jess Phillips discusses the personal and professional risks of being a "truth-teller" in modern politics.

Continuing her deep dive into Let's Be Honest, Jess explores the culture of silence that often permeates Westminster. She talks candidly about the pressure to conform, the abuse that often targets those who speak their mind, particularly women, and why it is vital to keep speaking up regardless.

In this video, Jess discusses:

The price of honesty: The backlash politicians face when they break ranks.

Women in politics: The specific challenges and double standards faced by female MPs.

The media: How the press shapes (and distorts) the narrative around political honesty.

Authenticity: Why voters respond to politicians who sound like real people, not robots.

A raw and insightful look at what it really takes to hold power to account from the inside.
