Published: Nov. 29, 2021, 9:03 p.m.

Pack your thermals and your second (and third) jumper for this chilly walk round Tilgate lake with Crawley\u2019s MP Henry Smith. \nInterrupted by most of England\u2019s native wildfowl along the way, Henry tells us how his first brush with Parliament came as the winner of a back-of-the-cereal-packet competition, and how his heart sinks with every new Covid travel restriction \u2013 such is the importance of air travel to his town\u2019s economy. \nHenry also opens up about the lasting impact his mum has on his politics \u2013 both inspiring his passion for animal welfare, and spurring him to campaign on beating blood cancer.
