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 .
