Liberal Democrats storm to victory at press gallery quiz

press gallery quiz conquering heroes croppedThe Liberal Democrat team took first prize at the annual Press Gallery quiz in Westminster last night. Our five triumphant heroes are David Heath MP, LDHQ head of policy Christian Moon and special advisers Emily Walch, Sean Kemp (who was also team captain) and James McGrory.

The clever quintet answered questions on all the usual pub quiz type subjects, specialising in sport (how on earth do any of them have the time to know anything about sport?) and netting double points from the Also Known As round. They had gone into the event hoping to improve on last year’s second place and they did so in style, beating the Daily Politics. As an aside, the Daily Politics team contained Alice Aitken, a former Liberal Democrat policy researcher on Culture, Media and Sport matters. Another familiar face was event organiser Elizabeth Johnson, who was for many years a Cowley Street stalwart.
