She talks a lot of sense and has a great understanding of the role and importance of a football club in its local community.
Putting political allegiances to one side, any football fan should be pleased that Lisa Nandy is now Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.
Can you believe that Mad Nads once had the job? Just look at the insight and intelligence of each of them.

I find it refreshing that MPs are starting to sound like actual human beings with genuine empathy and feelings again. It’s seems like such a long time ago.
Absolutely this. Not the usual "I'm a (insert club here) fan" to try & look like they understand people they have nothing in common with. But understands what it means to people, and it sounds like she's got involved enough to properly grasp the issues.

Comes across as genuinely interested, down to earth and empathetic. Refreshing is the word.

What was the context of the interview, @albionalba , do you know?

Nadine Dorries was only there for the Culture (wars) and Media part. She was after all an expert on Channel 4

Does this mean the football regulator legislation will finally be implemented?
Think you'll find it's the EPL & EFL (mainly EPL) who have delayed it & don't want it outright. There are many things you can take shots at but don't think this isn't one of them.

Not taking shots at anything, my understanding is that the only reason for the delay was the election.

The Football Governance Bill has cross-party support and was well into the Committee Stage at which point input from interested parties (including our own TB) have been heard with a view to any amendments (so hasn’t been rejected outright).

It was just put on hold because of the campaign.

Kier Starmer has repeatedly voiced his support for the Bill so it will likely proceed when Parliament convenes after the summer recess.

As Ken Clarke (a moderate Tory) once quipped, "The words Nadine, Dorries, and culture should never appear in the same sentence."

Football “is part of our civic inheritance”.

That’s good.
Yes, I agree. Whether she knows diddly squat about what goes on the pitch matters not. I know sod all about Rugby League, but if the game was in trouble I would understand straight away how supporters might be affected and the damage it could do.

That was a good interview.
