Political Landscapes: Henry Smith MP
Pack your thermals and your second (and third) jumper for this chilly walk round Tilgate lake with Crawley’s MP Henry Smith.
Interrupted by most of England’s native wildfowl along the way, Henry tells us how his first brush with Parliament came as the winner of a back-of-the-cereal-packet competition, and how his heart sinks with every new Covid travel restriction – such is the importance of air travel to his town’s economy.
Henry also opens up about the lasting impact his mum has on his politics – both inspiring his passion for animal welfare, and spurring him to campaign on beating blood cancer.

Political Landscapes: Tim Loughton MP
Ambling along the Adur river this week with East Worthing and Shoreham MP Tim Loughton.
We discuss his burgeoning acting career, which noises to make in Parliament, and pick out our favourite houseboats.
But in a month where MPs’ second jobs have come under intense scrutiny, Tim defends his work outside Parliament – explaining why he feels it adds value to his constituents, his work and the children his employers help.
And after a stressful few years in Westminster – is Parliament’s mindfulness champion still finding time to cogitate in the bath?
