Dawn Butler

Did you warm up at

Dawn Butler's Jamaica night this week? I didn't make it to that actually.

I

was quite tame in Liverpool, to be honest.

Yeah.

Well, look, the MPs, the Labour MPs, it wasn't just Andy Burnham who was getting emotional.

We saw pictures of Ed Miliband teary-eyed.

Hmm.

Dawn Butler MP, she said all the MPs she was sat with, some of them started crying at the speech.

It's such an emotional speech.

Hmm.

But, yeah, we had Adam Brooks on the podcast earlier this week.

Which is exactly what was happening in the hall yesterday.

Here's the Labour MP Dawn Butler talking about the mood in the hall.

I sat next to an MP and I'm not going to name her, but she did tell me she was a crier.

And so she started blubbing and then that just started me off blubbing.

But I don't think, you know, it's not a huge surprise as I say that, that, that it is, does appear to be something of an echo chamber.

Dawn Butler is vehemently anti-gambling as far as I can tell.

Certainly very anti betting shop.

And, you know, that's where we are.

change now under him.

Do you think he has a good chance of winning if he goes against Sadiq Khan or do you think his chances of winning are increased if he goes against a new Labour candidate like a Lammy who's being suggested or a Dawn Butler?

Oh, much, much better if he goes against a new candidate.

You know, you can't, you've got to remember that we are political geeks.

Mm.

Um, as you would Dawn Butler, um, who, who is also in that APPG.

Um, Will Prochaska as well from the Coalition to End Gambling Ads, and Charlie Buckley from More in Common.

So that's the, that's the panel.

She interviewed Tameka Empson.

She interviewed Dawn Butler MP.

I mean, these are just a few of the stalwarts sprinkling sparkle.

And, uh, well, over to you, Alison.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[upbeat music] Well, Dawn Butler MP joins me now.

And Dawn has been involved, you've been involved with these awards for quite a number of years, haven't you?

Although he won't be the only one with his hat in the ring.

I believe Dawn Butler has announced that she's running, or at least it's very clear that that's what she's planning to do, and maybe one or two others.

Yeah, so he won't be the only one to be in the running as part of Labour.

But at the same time, He's also realised that the Greens are making headway in his borough of Haringey or Tottenham.

It was the biggest story in the country.

The British fashion corporation, Sly News, they were blanketing the airwaves with race propagandists like Kehinde Andrews and Dawn Butler.

GB News did not cover it once because they were too terrified to go there.

That doesn't work.

There were very few Tories there.

And Dawn Butler, left-wing feminist MP, I quite like Dawn Butler, but she's not who you would expect her to be, our natural ally, perhaps.

She had the brass neck to stand up and mock the Tories for not being there.

First thing, she'd never been there, but she took it upon herself to mock the Tories for not turning up.
