Ep. 603 - Samantha Niblett MP - Labour MP and the woman behind 2026’s “Summer of Sex”

Samantha Niblett MP is the Labour MP for South Derbyshire and the woman behind 2026’s headline-grabbing “Summer of Sex” campaign. Launched in April 2026 with sextech entrepreneur Cindy Gallop, the “Yes Sex Please, We’re British!” campaign is calling for a more open, inclusive approach to lifelong sex education. Samantha’s route into politics came through a more than 20-year career in technology. In 2022 she founded Labour: Women in Tech, campaigning for greater gender equality in the technology industry and encouraging more women and girls into STEM and tech careers. She continues that work in Parliament as a member of the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee, combining her technology background with her work as an MP and campaigner for social change .Samantha Niblett MP is our guest in episode 603 of My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things she'd like to put in a time capsule; four she’d like to preserve and one she’d like to bury and never have to think about again .Samantha Niblett’s UK Parliament page - https://members.parliament.uk/member/5150/contact .Follow Samantha Niblett MP on Instagram: @samantha_niblett_mp .Follow My Time Capsule on Instagram: @mytimecapsulepodcast & Twitter/X & Facebook: @MyTCpod .Follow Michael Fenton Stevens on Twitter/X: @fentonstevens & Instagram @mikefentonstevens .Produced and edited by John Fenton-Stevens for Cast Off Productions .Music by Pass The Peas Music .Artwork by matthewboxall.com .This podcast is proud to be associated with the charity Viva!
