Get ready for some fun and games as another Member of Parliament joins the party. After engaging with Labour MPs Dawn Butler and Carolyn Harris on our show Party Games, featuring on The Mirror’s YouTube channel, this week we welcome our first Liberal Democrat guest, MP Josh Babarinde from Eastbourne.
With MPs increasingly facing intimidation and hate, our show introduces entertaining and revealing games to uncover the person behind the politician. Using a wheel of fortune to select games, including activities like Hug, Marry, Avoid and Ask Me Anything, we aim to provide a unique insight into the MPs.
In the latest episode, Mr. Babarinde unveils his hidden tattoo and shares an adventurous bungee jump experience with his party leader, Sir Ed Davey. The episode with Mr. Babarinde airs on The Mirror’s YouTube show at 6pm on Sunday.
The show captures some of the most memorable moments, including personal anecdotes and political insights shared by the MPs. From revealing stories about turning on Christmas lights at No10 to daring bungee jumps, each episode offers a glimpse into the lives of these public figures.
The Mirror’s show, Party Games, offers a rare opportunity to interact with elected Members of Parliament in a lighthearted setting. With various engaging games like “Would You Rather?” and “Never Have I Ever?”, the show aims to humanize MPs and provide a fresh perspective on Westminster politics.
In a climate of escalating hostility towards MPs, Party Games strives to humanize politicians and foster a deeper understanding of their personal stories. Viewers can enjoy the episodes on The Mirror’s YouTube channel.
Mr. Babarinde shares a thrilling bungee jump experience, following in the footsteps of his party leader, Ed Davey. Additionally, he emphasizes the importance of protecting survivors and victims of domestic abuse, drawing from personal experiences and advocating for improved legal protections.
