Education

Political career

In November 2017 Labour's Shadow Minister for Public Health and chair of the School Food APPG, Sharon Hodgson, launched a parliamentary inquiry, the All-Nation Children's Future Food Inquiry, to gather information on the issue of childhood food insecurity.[8] Pike is among those providing research to the inquiry.[9]

Pike is also a member of Labour's Shipley Feminist Zealots and lobbied alongside Owen Jones for the UK's ratification of the Istanbul Convention on Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence.[10] The current Conservative Party MP for Shipley, Philip Davies, is well known for his opposition to the legislation and is a member of Women and Equalities Select Committee, a committee which he has suggested should not exist.[11]
