Grace Blakeley is a political commentator, writer and activist, she has been a staff writer for The Tribune and economics commentator for The New Statesman.

We caught up with Grace to talk about her life in politics, which awaken in her early 20's but has probably been her destiny from a young age.

We discuss the state of international and community politics, something Grace has been able to look at during her time as an activist and her time in the states while touring with her book 'Stolen' and how powerful hope can be particularly in darker times.
