Finding a quiet corner in Parliament….

In a off-the-beaten-track wing of the Houses of Parliament with the wonderful Westminster Insider host Aggie Chambre working on the first episode of Season 10: “Why the hell would you want to work for an MP?” In this special episode, Aggie gathered a group of 20-something politicos who spent years working as aides and researchers for some of Britain’s best-known politicians — and hears what working for an MP is really like. They tell stories of drunken sleepovers in parliament, MPs’ texts at 4 a.m., and high-pressure casework for distraught constituents which changed their lives forever. And the group explains how in the world of Westminster, your MP is also your “judge, jury, and executioner” — meaning if you work for the wrong person, things can quickly go badly wrong.
