Peter Bedford is the new Conservative MP for the constituency of Mid Leicestershire. From realising he wanted to be a member of Parliament at 15, Peter talks about being the first in his family to go to university, his newfound love of cruising (like, on a ship) and recounts one memorable time being fired at by a man with an air rifle whilst campaigning.
As a brand new MP, Peter says the 2024 election was ‘tough’ and he was ‘frustrated with the campaign’. Now in Parliament, he talks about hot-desking with colleagues whilst waiting for an office in Westminster, and how he will be focused on social mobility in politics, and supporting reform to assisted dying laws in the UK. #ukpolitics #politics #conservative #assisteddying
