The New Statesman. Who are the bright young things and powerful players in Parliament that we don't hear about?

Is Nigel Farage's relationship with Donald Trump responsible for reforms dip in polling?

Is Kirstama getting enough credit for keeping us out of the third Gulf War?

This is Politics from the New Statesman. I'm Anusha Kellyan.

Today we're answering your questions. Thank you, as ever, for sending in such great questions.

We do read them all, so please do get in touch with us about British politics,

comment wherever you're watching or listening to this,

or even better record your question as a voice note so that we can hear your lovely voices and email it to studio at newstatesman.com.uk. So let's get into it.

I'm joined today by my colleagues Alvare and Tom McTag. Hi, both. Hello. So we've been going through our mailbag and we've picked a few really good questions this week. The first one is from

at Alex weight XR. So this is the danger of choosing

them from YouTube as they have very strange handles. But not such a strange question, a great

question. Who are the powerful players in Parliament that we don't hear about so much? Are there

any bright young things in British politics that stand out for the future?

Who have you chosen?

So we've mashed together two questions, haven't we? I think there was one from Alex and someone else asked about the bright young things and we thought we should combine them.

Basically, people seem to have had enough of the politicians they hear about all the time.

I was to talk about some other ones.

And this is so treacherous because so many of the potential candidates for this

listen to the podcast.

So apologies in advance if we forget about any bright young thing who's listening.

Well, I've chosen mine bearing that in mind.

Yeah, yeah.
