Watch the Mirror's new show Party Games as MPs spill Westminster secrets
MPs from across the political spectrum will open up about who they are as they take on the challenge of playing a well-known board game in the new YouTube show Party GamesJoin us for the Mirror's new show Party Games as politicians spill the secrets of being an MP - while taking on the challenge of playing a well-known board game. In the programme on the Mirror's YouTube channel, familiar faces from across political spectrum will do battle with reporter Sophie Huskisson. At the same time they will face questions on who they are, what they stand for and why they became a politician. There will be a new episode every Monday at 6pm with guests including Labour frontbenchers and a former Tory minister. In a relaxed tell-all chat over games including Kerplunk, Jenga and Snakes and Ladders, we hear about how they manage their work-life-balance, how they deal with social media trolls and about some of their worst and best times in Westminster.
They will also talk about their childhoods, their families and the hurdles they had to overcome to get a seat as an MP and represent their part of the country in Parliament. In an age where MPs face a torrent of abuse on social media and heightened fears over their security, we pull back the curtain to get to know the people behind the politics. Guests on the first season include Dehenna Davison, who became an MP at just 26, and Labour's Shadow Environment Secretary Steve Reed. We take MPs out of the House of Commons chamber, away from their policy briefs and the political agendas of their parties, to find out who they really are behind the scenes - and how good they are at playing board games too! Party Games is available now on the Mirror’s YouTube channel with new episodes every Monday at 6pm.
