Theo Clarke, a member of the Conservative Party, delivered an emotionally charged speech recounting her harrowing experience during childbirth, which she described as “probably the most personal speech I will ever give as an MP.”
Clarke became overwhelmed with emotion as she recounted the moments when she was rushed into emergency surgery, gripped with fear that she might not survive. Her heartfelt plea to the government was for them to take greater action in supporting women who have endured traumatic births.
Former cabinet minister Andrea Leadsom stepped in and commended Clarke for her immense bravery in speaking out about her experience.
