During lockdown, Arundel and South Downs’ new MP Andrew Griffith walked the West Sussex hills near Pulborough to help process the extraordinary pressures of the job.
In this week’s walk, he takes Ben back up those wooded paths – opening up about losing his father at the height of lockdown, and how difficult it is to switch off as an MP.
He also explains why he thinks environmentalism isn’t just for left-wingers, how to persuade business to go carbon neutral, and what it was like to have his spare room taken over by Boris Johnson’s leadership campaign.
