Naz Shah on her 'pain' at suing Labour and visiting her mum in prison | ITV News

Some paths into politics are remarkable but latest Acting Prime Minister Naz Shah's is truly extraordinary. The future Labour MP's father left home when she was six before her mother was jailed for killing her abusive partner, leaving Naz to bring up her younger siblings. She later became victim herself to physical abusive at the hands of her cousin - who her wider family had forced her to wed in Pakistan at 15 - and only got out of the marriage after police found her tied up at home. So it's no surprise the current shadow minister for women and equalities would forego a picture above the Downing Street desk in favour of an inspiring quote about "perseverance". Speaking to ITV News Political Correspondent Paul Brand in Westminster, she recounts her remarkable life before politics, vividly describing the day she left her mother in prison for the first time and that day police arrived to find her bound by her then-husband. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on Facebook:   / itvnews   Follow ITV News on Twitter:   / itvnews   Follow ITV News on Instagram:   / itvnews
