At the age ofjust 28 of causing trouble for causes that she believes passionately in. She is shaped also by her experience, an experience shared by so manyJunior Doctors, of working on the front line of the nhs during the pandemic, of seeing so many people die so traumatically. Emma runswick, welcome to political thinking. Thank you for having me. You are called many things and have been since you took up this post. Militant is one that keeps coming up.
