How do you get older colleagues to take you seriously when you become an MP at 25? Has the social contract between the state and young people been irreparably broken? And how should Andy Burnham tackle the biggest challenges facing young people today — the mental health crisis, student loan debt, a lack of jobs and opportunities, and the impossibility of getting on the housing ladder?
Keir Mather and Rosie Wrighting, two Gen Z MPS, discuss all these topics and more with Vicky Spratt as part of The Gen Z Story
