🎙 Michael Fabricant | From Global Business to the House of Commons | The Pezzadox Show

This week on The Pezzadox Show, we're joined by none other than Michael Fabricant – a true maverick in politics, media and business.

With over 32 years as the MP for Lichfield, Michael served across 9 general elections and held major roles including Vice Chairman of the Conservative Party, Government Whip, and Shadow Trade Minister. But before his political journey began, he was already making waves in broadcasting and international business – co-founding a company that exported radio and TV equipment to 48 countries worldwide.

📡 From designing studio systems to commissioning global media networks, Michael's early career shaped a worldview that questioned the UK’s heavy focus on Europe and championed international trade.

Known for his sharp wit, flamboyant character, and unapologetic authenticity, Michael reflects on his rise from “a junior pipsqueak in the Treasury” under John Major to one of the most recognisable figures in Westminster.

🎧 Expect insights, stories and a few surprises from a man who's seen it all – from the control room to the Commons.
