Baroness Sayeeda Warsi talks with Jamal Elshayyal about her Pakistani heritage and her illustrious career at the heart of British politics.
They cover a wide range of subjects, from her humble Yorkshire beginnings, to the many rights of women in Islam, and why she chose to join the centre right Conservative Party.
Baroness Warsi is a member of the House of Lords and the UK’s first Muslim Cabinet Minister.
She resigned in 2014 in protest over her Government’s response to Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.
Baroness Warsi is a leading campaigner against Islamophobia and has consistently been named as one of the world’s ‘500 most influential Muslims’ by the Middle East think-tank the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre.
Jamal Elshayyal is a senior journalist and the manager of Content Strategy for OTT Platforms.
