Elected Members of Parliament rarely engage in game-playing activities. However, on the recent debut of The Mirror’s show, Party Games, viewers witnessed just that. Hosted by Sophie on The Mirror’s YouTube channel, the program features politicians from various parties engaging in unique party games.
The first guest on the show was Labour MP for Brent East, Dawn Butler. The episode showcased games like “Would You Rather?” and “Never Have I Ever?”, where MPs had to make interesting choices and reveal personal stories. Other segments included an “Ask Me Anything” round and a “30-Second Pitch” where guests shared their passions.
The show aims to humanize MPs amidst increasing challenges of intimidation and violence they face. By providing viewers with a glimpse behind the political curtain, Party Games offers a fresh perspective on Westminster’s personalities.
Dawn Butler shared memorable moments from her political journey, expressing her strong convictions and aspirations, including a desire to run for London Mayor. She also reflected on being the first black female MP to stand at the government dispatch box, highlighting the importance of representation and breaking stereotypes.
In particular, Butler emphasized her campaign to revitalize high streets by addressing the proliferation of betting shops through legislative changes. Her vision aims to create vibrant, diverse high streets that cater to community needs.
