It’s no secret that numerous new consumption Labour MPs see themselves as one-term-only, assuming they’ll be dropping their seats on the subsequent common election.
And as Labour continues to languish within the polls you’ll be able to hardly blame them for preserving their choices open.
One MP who could be involved is former Metropolis employee Callum Anderson, the Labour MP for Buckingham and Bletchley.
Anderson was one among Labour’s “unintentional MPs”, successful the spiritually Tory seat (newly created by combining elements of Milton Keynes South with Buckingham) with a slender majority of simply 2,421.
Alas, failing one other electoral miracle, the seat is now projected to go to Reform. What subsequent, then, for Anderson?
Notably, the MP has been been publishing a weekly publication for subscribers – many from the world of finance – on LinkedIn, analysing “the overlap of markets, coverage and politics”.
That is seen by one insider who is aware of him as a bid to maintain his foot within the door together with his Metropolis contacts subsequent time the nice folks of Buckingham and Bletchley go to the polls. No judgement right here from the Pygge. That’s simply good enterprise sense.
