About this episode
Bridget is one of the biggest stars of the Labour government. As well as being Education Secretary, she is standing to be Labour's Deputy Leader.
It's the first major test of members' opinion since Labour came into office.
She's led a fascinating life. Growing up in poverty, but making it to Oxford via Byker Grove.
So what drives her, what changes is she making to our schools and who does she prefer... Oasis or Blur?
