When there is finally a general election, what will the next batch of MPs look like? With parties deep into selection processes, who is going to be thrust upon us – and who’s being blocked? Journalist, author and Channel 4 legend Michael Crick, who runs Tomorrow’s MPs on Twitter, talks to Andrew Harrison about our future parliamentarians.
- “The left is doing appallingly within the Labour selections.”
- “Starmer can’t be seen to interfere too much – that can be the kiss of death for a candidate.”
- “There is a process of weeding people out on the grounds of their politics.”
- “When local parties are choosing members of Parliament, they’re also choosing potential future ministers.”
