Sophie, a dedicated Political Correspondent at the Mirror since December 2022, delves into the realm of UK politics, with a keen focus on prisons, the justice system, education, and online safety.
Prepare to don your party hats and engage in some playful banter as we welcome another Member of Parliament (MP) for a round of fun and games.
Having already engaged in lively games with Labour MPs Dawn Butler and Carolyn Harris on our recently launched political program, Party Games, available on The Mirror’s YouTube channel, we are thrilled to announce our next guest, Liberal Democrat MP for Eastbourne, Josh Babarinde.
In light of the escalating intimidation and hostility faced by MPs, our show injects a dose of amusement and insight by playing a selection of entertaining games that offer a glimpse into the personal side of these politicians. From the spin of a fortune wheel to selecting games like Hug, Marry, Avoid and Ask Me Anything, we aim to uncover the human behind the political facade.
Revelations abound on the show, with Ms. Harris sharing anecdotes about turning on the Christmas tree lights at No10 during Boris Johnson’s tenure and her past as a competitive ballroom dancer. Meanwhile, Mr. Babarinde unveils a hidden tattoo and recounts a daring bungee jump with party leader Sir Ed Davey.
The show captures candid moments and unique stories, such as Mr. Babarinde’s tale of getting an Eastbourne-themed tattoo with friends and his journey from joining the Liberal Democrats for a free beer mat to embracing the party’s values. Additionally, he shares a quirky anecdote about wearing mismatched socks to Windsor Castle, paying homage to his love for Star Wars.
Reflecting on recent political achievements and outlining future aspirations, Mr. Babarinde highlights the Liberal Democrats’ success in the last election and emphasizes the importance of campaigning to safeguard progress and unity.
With an unwavering dedication to Eastbourne, Mr. Babarinde invites fellow MPs to experience the charm of his hometown, underscoring the significance of community engagement and representation.
Embark on this unique journey with us on Party Games, a refreshing platform that humanizes MPs and fosters an engaging dialogue with viewers. From light-hearted games to meaningful discussions, the show promises an entertaining and insightful experience for all.
