Daisy Cooper on the “Zoom parliament”

By | Sat 31st December 2022 - 12:30 pm

Daisy Cooper features prominently in a Guardian article about four new MPs and parliament during the Covid restrictions.

Daisy comments:

For a long time we were a Zoom parliament, which means you don’t bump into people in the corridors, or in the tea room or in the voting lobbies. But that is starting to develop now.

Fellow MP Amy Callaghan says:

One of the very first things that struck me when I arrived was that I was given a hook for my sword.

    “Fellow MP Amy Callaghan says…”

    …not sure this website should be making reference to the SNP MP who took Jo Swinson’s East Dunbartonshire seat in 2015.

    @Mel Borthwaite: It was in 2019 actually. Jo lost to someone else from the SNP, one John Nicolson, then won it back from him in 2017 before losing to Callaghan. (Nicolson did a chicken run.) But it’s really not relevant in the context. We’re not fighting yesterday’s battles. And besides, it’s not going to be a rematch next time around, as Jo has moved away and someone else has been selected as our candidate for East Dunbartonshire.
