  • James Frith 

     

    JUST ANNOUNCED: 

     

    Come and see The Political Party LIVE at the Edinburgh Festival with the following guests: 

     

    13 August: Anas Sarwar 

    18 August: Jacob Rees-Mogg 

    19 August: Sarah Brown 

     

    Tickets: https://www.mattforde.com/live-shows 

     

    James won the Bury North seat for Labour in 2017. He lost it in 2019 by just 105 votes. 

     

    A few weeks ago James won the seat for a second time with a majority of nearly 7000. 

     

    So what is going on in Bury and how much of a role, if any, did Reform play in the result? 

     

    Why hasn't Bury seen rioting by the hard right when other places have? 

     

    And more importantly, will James ever go to Glastonbury again?

  • Toby Perkins 

     

    Toby won his Chesterfield seat for the fifth time at the recent general election. But how did he retain his seat throughout Labour's darkest years when colleagues around him were losing theirs? 

     

    One of the most likeable MPs in the Commons was a Shadow Minister but didn't get appointed to the frontbench after the election. 

     

    He talks openly and honestly about the mixed feelings he has about Labour finally forming a government, but not being a minister in it.  

     

    A massive football fan, Toby also reveals which football manager he thinks he'd most be like if he chairs the Environmental Audit Committee.

  • Shama Tatler


    Shama was the Labour candidate in Chingford and Woodford Green and almost unseated Iain Duncan Smith just a few weeks ago. 


    Had it not been for an independent candidate standing in the seat, Shama would almost certainly have won. 


    Shama describes her experience in full, including the abuse she faced and the misinformation spread about her. 


    In an election when many candidates had to suffer a similar fate, Shama's story is a vital testimony of how abusive modern politics has become.
