Sophie, a Political Correspondent at the Mirror since December 2022, covers UK politics, focusing on prisons, the justice system, education, and online safety.
Get ready for some fun and games as another Member of Parliament joins me on the new political show Party Games.
Having previously played games with Labour MPs Dawn Butler and Carolyn Harris on Party Games, now it’s time for our first Liberal Democrat guest, MP Josh Babarinde from Eastbourne, to join in the fun, airing on The Mirror’s YouTube channel.
Amidst rising intimidation and hate towards MPs, Party Games aims to engage in entertaining and revealing games to uncover the person behind the political figure. From the spin of a wheel of fortune selecting games like Hug, Marry, Avoid and Ask Me Anything, we delve into the lighter side of politics.
In a recent episode, Ms. Harris shared amusing anecdotes, including accidentally turning on Christmas lights at No10 during Boris Johnson’s tenure and her past as a competitive ballroom dancer. You can catch this episode on YouTube.
The latest episode features Mr. Babarinde unveiling a hidden tattoo and recounting a bungee jumping experience with his party leader, Sir Ed Davey. Tune in to The Mirror’s YouTube show for this episode airing at 6pm on Sunday.
Highlights from the show include personal stories shared by guests, such as Mr. Babarinde’s water park birthday celebration and the significance of his tattoo representing Eastbourne.
Exploring more personal sides of politicians, Party Games offers viewers a glimpse into the lives and personalities of MPs, beyond their public personas, in a light-hearted and engaging format.
The Mirror’s Party Games show brings a unique blend of entertainment and insight, fostering a deeper connection between viewers and political figures, and offering a refreshing take on political engagement.
