Sophie, a Political Correspondent at the Mirror since December 2022, delves into the world of UK politics, focusing on prisons, the justice system, education, and online safety.
Engaging in games with Members of Parliament is a unique opportunity, and that’s precisely what Sophie experiences on The Mirror’s latest show, Party Games, launched recently.
In this program on The Mirror’s YouTube channel, Sophie invites familiar political figures from various backgrounds for an unconventional party. A spin of the wheel determines the games played, each designed to unveil humorous anecdotes, emotional narratives, and even some political banter from MPs.
The latest episode features “2 Truths and a Lie,” where MPs share two real stories and one fictional one, challenging Sophie to identify the lie. Another segment, “Ask Me Anything,” allows unrestricted questioning, while the “30-Second Pitch” gives guests a platform to discuss causes they are passionate about.
In a time where MPs encounter escalating threats and hostility, The Mirror’s show aims to humanize these politicians beyond the grandeur of Westminster.
The second episode, featuring Labour MP Carolyn Harris from Swansea East, will premiere on the Mirror’s YouTube channel at 6 pm on Sunday. Here’s a glimpse of some noteworthy moments shared during the show.
Carolyn reflects on her weight loss journey, shedding nearly eight stone and transforming from a size 24 to a size 12. She also recalls a humorous incident at Downing Street with Prime Minister Boris Johnson involving a lit-up tree.
Additionally, Carolyn reminisces about her childhood interests in politics and ballroom dancing, highlighting her dream of appearing on Strictly Come Dancing with Brendan Cole.
Despite facing online abuse and scrutiny, Carolyn remains resilient, emphasizing the importance of advocating for marginalized voices and addressing critical issues like women’s health, particularly menopause.
