Politix and Chill

Ben Weisz has a sit down on the sea front and looks back at the highlights of the last three months of walking with MPs. Huw Merriman on bees, Lloyd Russell Moyle on being ginger and Jeremy Hunt on switching off. Editor: Richard Culver Presenter: Ben Weisz

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.

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? Editor: Richard Culver Presenter: Ben Weisz

In the grounds of a mansion built for George II’s mistress, Lib Dem MP for Twickenham Munira Wilson begins our walk along the Thames. West London’s parks were a haven for her family as the new MP became her party’s health spokesperson in the middle of a pandemic. Munira opens up about the how her faith gives her strength – and the frustrations of opposition when the Government has a huge majority. And we relive her best student nights out in Europe – and start the playlist for a Parliamentary night out. Editor: Richard Culver Presenter: Ben Weisz
