Your support makes all the difference.New shadow chancellor Anneliese Dodds has become the latest public figure to be casually interrupted by a child while giving a live TV interview.
The Labour MP’s daughter can be seen casually strolling into the room as her mother discusses the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic with Sky News’ Kay Burley.
“Somebody who wants to come and say hello to you while we’re on the telly,” laughed Ms Burley. “We’ve seen this happen before – she’s welcome any time on the programme.”
Ms Dodds was appointed as the new shadow chancellor on Sunday, joining the likes of Lisa Nandy (shadow foreign secretary) and Nick Thomas-Symonds (shadow home secretary) as senior members in Keir Starmer’s shadow cabinet.
The 42-year-old was formerly a public policy lecturer at King’s College London and Aston University, before being elected as an MEP for South East England in 2014.
She was elected as MP for Oxford East at the 2017 General Election and served as a shadow Treasury minister under former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
