Veterans In Politics- Andrew Selous MP- Former Army Reservist on a day in the life of an MP
Our host first met Andrew Selous MP when he himself was brand new to politics. UIt was great to sit down in Parliament all these years later and chat through mucvh about the day in life of an MP. From PMQs to consituency life and casework, this episode is packed full on insight.
We also talk about his life in the army reserves, or the TA as it was known back then, through Andrew's service in the HAC and Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. Off the back of this, we chat about work-life-reservist balance and how much of this helped him campaign.
