Veterans In Politics- Sir Mike Penning MP- from Guardsman to Minister to Knight of the Realm
It was a huge pleasure recording this episode with Sir Mike Penning in his office in the heart of The House of Commons, in Parliament, Westminster. Our host Jonny first met Mike at the MOD, where Mike was serving as Minister for the Armed Forces, essentially Deputy Secretary of State for Defence.
Mike talks about his humble background, joining the army as a teenager, serving in Northern Ireland on operations, becoming a firefighter, a journalist and a politician! Mike has packed a lot into his life.
We get insight into what it is like to resign as a Minister, telling the Prime Minister that you're quitting as an MP, and when he met the Queen.
This is a story of aspiration, and how a soldier became a Knight of The Realm.
