11 Tommy Sheppard MP

Tommy Sheppard was elected to serve Edinburgh East at Westminster in the SNP landslide in 2015. His victory came as something of a surprise - the seat had been safely in Labour hands for years. 

He has taken his new responsibilities seriously and his contributions in the Commons have had their impact. He took the decision right from the start to make sure he listened to the voice of local people - indeed, his main constituency office is in Portobello High Street. 

So in this episode, we hear from the man himself to find out a little more about the MP, his experience of the last 18 months and some thoughts about an uncertain future.
