Sophie, a Political Correspondent at the Mirror since December 2022, focuses on UK politics, particularly prisons, justice, education, and online safety.
Get ready for some fun as another Member of Parliament joins the Party Games show. Previously, Labour MPs Dawn Butler and Carolyn Harris participated in this new political program on The Mirror’s YouTube channel. This week, we welcome our first Liberal Democrat guest, MP Josh Babarinde from Eastbourne.
In the midst of rising intimidation towards MPs, Party Games aims to engage in enjoyable and revealing games to uncover the person behind the politician. The show involves spinning a wheel of fortune to select games like Hug, Marry, Avoid, and Ask Me Anything.
During the Two Truths and a Lie game, Ms. Harris disclosed in a previous episode that she accidentally turned on the Christmas lights at No10 during Boris Johnson’s time as PM and was once a competitive ballroom dancer. This week, Mr. Babarinde showcases his hidden tattoo and shares a daring bungee jump experience with Sir Ed Davey, the party leader.
The show captures candid moments and stories like Mr. Babarinde’s adventurous birthday celebration at a water park and his unique tattoo experience. Additionally, insights into his political journey and values, such as joining the Liberal Democrats for a beer mat and his commitment to protecting domestic abuse survivors, are shared.
Party Games, a unique program hosted by Sophie, offers a fun and insightful glimpse into the lives of MPs. Through engaging games and personal anecdotes, viewers get to know the human side of politicians beyond the formalities of Westminster.
To watch the latest episode featuring Mr. Babarinde, tune in to The Mirror’s YouTube channel at 6pm on Sunday for an entertaining and informative experience.
