What happens when two people who stammer, with completely different stories, sit down together inside the UK Parliament?
In this special episode of Stammer Stories, William Laven is joined by David Pinto-Duschinsky MP to talk about growing up with a stammer, ambition, representation and what it means to find your voice in public life.
From William starting Stammer Stories in his bedroom to David standing in Parliament, their journeys are very different, but the message is the same: having a stammer should never stop you from going after what you want.
The conversation also explores David’s Careers in Public Life campaign with Action for Stammering Children, supporting young people who stammer to explore careers in politics, the civil service and local government.
