Tessa Munt was interviewed on Saturday for Sounds and Voices, the audio news service for the blind and visually impaired in Burnham and Highbridge.
She was interviewed before her latest local surgery on Saturday by Tony Deahl, this fornight’s editor.
Tessa was previously interviewed for the service when she was a ‘new girl’ in Westminster after being elected in 2010 (as pictured below) and this week’s second interview featured her life since then.
Tony said: “We talked about her time in the role, including some of the people she has met such as the Dali Lama and Barack Obama. She also recounts her BBC Question Time experience and what it is like to be interviewed by people such as Jeremy Paxman.”
