The Ipswich 18-year-old who wants young people to have 'their voices heard'

An 18-year-old former Youth MP says he wants to help other young people "have their voices heard".

As the representative for Ipswich, Isaac Codjoe raised issues such as knife crime in a special debate in the House of Commons.

He went on to set up a Youth Council in the town.

"As a young black person growing up, I didn't really have many black young people that were within politics," he said.

"I just want to inspire the next generation.'
