Get your party hats on as we gear up for more games with a new Member of Parliament (MP).
On our show Party Games, featured on The Mirror’s YouTube channel, I’ve already engaged in fun games with Labour MPs Dawn Butler and Carolyn Harris. This week, we welcome our first Liberal Democrat guest, MP Josh Babarinde from Eastbourne.
With MPs increasingly facing intimidation and hate, our show aims to offer lighthearted yet revealing games to uncover the person behind the politician. Through a wheel of fortune, I select games like Hug, Marry, Avoid and Ask Me Anything for our engaging sessions.
In a recent episode, MP Carolyn Harris disclosed fun facts like turning on No10’s Christmas lights and being a ballroom dancer. This week, Mr. Babarinde reveals his hidden tattoo and past bungee jump with party leader Sir Ed Davey. Catch the latest episode on The Mirror’s YouTube show this Sunday at 6pm.
Highlights include tales of birthday celebrations at a water park, tattoo agreements with friends, party affiliations, and quirky fashion choices like mismatched socks at Windsor Castle.
MPs participating in Party Games engage in various rounds such as “Would You Rather?” and “Never Have I Ever?”, offering viewers a refreshing look at the personal side of these public figures amidst the challenges they face.
The show’s aim is to humanize MPs and foster a deeper understanding of their lives beyond the political sphere, especially in the current climate of hostility and threats they encounter.
Experience the exciting episodes of Party Games on YouTube to witness these engaging and revealing interactions with MPs.
Revealing a thrilling bungee jump experience after party leader Ed Davey, MP Babarinde shares his passion for protecting domestic abuse survivors, emphasizing the need for improved legal measures to support them.
